One of my favorite things about living in California is watching and listening to the ripples and breaking waves of the Pacific Ocean. This well-choreographed dance to Mother Nature’s symphony of wind, water and singing seagulls leaves me mesmerized each time. So it’s no wonder that the ocean serves as inspiration in my design.

Pacifica is a lightweight and snuggly scarf or full wrap that will keep you warm whether you’re embarking on an evening beach stroll, or just wishing you were. Simple shaping in Pacifica’s body yield gentle curves which are highlighted with texture and color to emulate waves. Each end is flanked by an easy drop-stitch lace pattern commonly called (and aptly named), Seafoam Stitch.
