Juniperus is the botanical name for the native northwest plant, Juniper. An evergreen plant with seed cones that have a berry-like appearance; they are prized for their medicinal qualities as well as giving gin its distinctive flavor. The Juniperus Shawlette features small, simple textured bobbles that look like the Juniper seed cones. The Shawlette is framed with the designer’s Elegant I-Cord Edge (EIE) technique that creates a knit as you go finished edge.
