Cross seas are formed when two wave systems cross while traveling at angles to each other. While a true cross sea ocean pattern is as dangerous as it is beautiful, this shawl is completely harmless! The Cross Sea Shawl is a simple knit with only a few design features, perfect for a quick knit gift. You can also easily size up the yarn & needles for a larger shawl!
