Tiered ruffles cascade like twilight skies—layers of night stitched into something you can hold. The Starlight Stroll Shawlis part of my Sea Glass Journal pattern collection, where each design echoes the imagery and emotions of my novel. This shawl captures the magic of a quiet evening by the sea: a deep breath, a long walk, and the comfort of wrapping yourself in something both beautiful and meaningful.

The shawl is worked from the top down, beginning with simple stitches that grow row by row into a classic triangular shape. Then, the magic happens—three sweeping tiers of ruffles, each one anchored into earlier rows, build depth and drama like waves rippling under moonlight. The result is a statement piece that feels elegant and timeless, but is also relaxing and joyful to make.

Choose a gradient yarn to create the illusion of twilight fading into night, or use a single bold shade for a dramatic silhouette. However you style it, the Starlight Stroll is a project that will carry you from the meditative rhythm of stitching to the breathtaking moment you first drape it around your shoulders.
