Seaglass is a shawl full of movement. The design that is shaped by tracks in the sand and small, luminous discoveries along the shore. A fragment of the sea, softened by time. If you ever recall the joy of finding smooth, gleaming seaglass on the seaside and slipping them in your pockets to bring home as a treasure, I hope the design resonates with that sentiment!

Seaglass is triangle shawl with a Garter Tab Cast On and a modified ratio of increases along the edges and the central spine to achieve its wide, shallow shape. The design features main body worked in intricate lace cables in MC, and panels of shifting, wave-like twisted knit ribbing in CC to accentuate the edge. The shawl is finished with a dainty applied lace border in MC.
