My love for trees through ought my life led me to design this shawl. Paying homage to them just seems fitting. They give us so much. Life, fresh air and certainly a lot of beauty~

This pattern uses stranded knitting in the lower middle to create three growing tree trunks, followed by a big leafy textured tree top.
Stitches get picked up on the sides of that lovely tree and then get worked on the bias into two different directions, creating a v-shape that kind of hugs your body.

The yarn used here lends a very organic look and feel. The pattern is written and charted for your knitting pleasure.

The Dimensions blocked are: 68” across the very top and at tallest is 18”.
