Mermaidcore - because it’s never too late (or too soon) to be a mermaid! This lightweight square of lace with a central neck-hole can be tossed on to bring warmth on a chilly day and an ethereal mermaid vibe to any outfit. The self-scalloping lace evokes shells, seafoam, and gentle ocean waves, especially when worked in contrasting stripes. The lace pattern is provided in written and charted form. Wear it square or en pointe.

Photos show the pattern worked in two colors of Ornaghi Filati Merino Oro: 060 (dark blue) and 086 (light blue), approx. 525 yd / 480 each.
