Tips for the Silver Fern
The silver fern, New Zealand's iconic symbol, is worked as an applique with a central stem and graduated leaflets along each side. Silver or gray yarn against a black base creates the classic All Blacks look. Keep the fern large and centered for maximum impact, since its elegant shape is instantly recognizable to any Kiwi.
Kiwi Pride
This silver fern crop top is perfect for rugby match days, Waitangi Day and anyone with New Zealand roots. The All Blacks have made the silver fern one of the most feared and respected symbols in sport, and this top lets you wear it with handmade pride.
