Foliage in the Woods Wrap

The stitch design in this scarf is reminiscent of ripples of light through the trees in winter along the Scottish countryside. As Catherine Earnshaw says, “My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I’m well aware, as winter changes the trees.”

    I made mine using all scraps and lined it with cotton hexis for added warmth. Tie quilted it and used cotton thread for a lacy picot edging. Love the versatility of this pattern
