This pattern is part of Lost in the Woods - a collection of 12 patterns.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wrap yourself up in a densely textured shawl that suggests all the bounty of the forest: barklike textures combine with acorn and berry patterns, all finished off with a leafy lace edging.

As befits the forest life, it’s deceptively simple and highly practical – all the colourwork is achieved using just one colour per row, while the long crescent is the most wearable of shawl shapes.
