Description
This shawl was designed to mimic a Pacific Northwest summer scene of growing ferns or vines reaching up to the sky. This shawl has an expansive wingspan that allows it to be draped around the shoulders with ease.
Fern Cliff begins at one long edge and is worked upwards decreasing every wrong side row until you reach the end point of the shawl. Caliper cables are added and grow up the shawl. The Caliper cables, which mimic ferns, appear to be descending down a cliff (the wingspan of the shawl). The first stitch of each row is slipped to give the nice edging.
