Forest Shawl

Take the wonderful hexagon. It's a fabulous shape, right? It's loved by crochet fans everywhere for its delightful tessellating qualities and speed of flying off the hook. Oh, and what goes on within those 6 sides can be amazing. 

We often walk in the woods and forests near our house and I felt inspired by the light dappling through the leaves. Time to design. The yarns for this new Forest Shawl (yes, an obvious name but it is apt I guess!) had to be Scheepjes' Catona as even the names were perfect: Forest Green and Spruce. 

One hexagon with a certain off-kilter repeat in it. On its own, well, it's perfectly fine. Add it to many others...and... there's the pattern! Swirling leaves appear. The beauty of repeat. The beauty of crochet. This pattern is out now in Inside Crochet issue 103 should you desire some forest vibes in your life...
