An elegant crescent shaped shawl worked from the top down with an eyelet garter stitch pattern. Two short row wedges and a beaded picot cast/bind off adds interest to a fun accessory.

St Aubin’s is part of the Between The Lines e-book which is available for pre-order at £8.

I purchased the String Theory Caper Sock when in St Aubin’s, Jersey. St Aubin’s Bay is a big, shallow bay with a beautiful sandy beach. The shape of this shawl reminds me of St Aubin’s Bay, Jersey.
