As one of the oldest living plants on Earth, there are over 20,000 known species. These unique and ethereal plants are believed to have magical properties, including the power to dispel negativity, provide protection, increase mental clarity, and increase luck. According to Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, when carried or worn, a fern “guides its bearer to discover treasures.” Allow the mystical fern to be your guide as you wear this oversized triangle shawl.* **Yarn** Made by Hailey Bailey Classic DK in Olivine (DK weight, 100% Superwash Merino, 231 yards/100g) **Needles/Hooks** H/5mm **Gauge** 15 sts x 14 rows = 4” square (blocked) [Step 1] Ch 16.
