Inspired by pebbles, rippled sand, sun, and sea, this textured, C-shaped shawl features airy, open-stitch rows alternating with denser shell and pillowy puff-stitch rows for comforting warmth.

The shawl is worked from the neckline outward, with internal increases at four points as well as increases at either end. The side sections are elongated to more easily drape or wrap over the shoulders.

The shawl is finished with either a simple wavy edging or an extended lacy edging for a slightly larger shawl. Both edgings include optional beads. The rows begin and end with shells to create the side edging, with the simple neck edging added last.

Partial stitch diagrams are included.

This pattern uses American crochet terminology.
