Kelly Forster brings us a gorgeous beach-inspired crescent wrap in silky, fingering weight Tern. In the words of the designer, the combination of soothing garter stitch and lace expresses “smooth sand dollars and stones against the rough sand and surf”. This piece is cast on all at once to work the lace border, followed by a sweet eyelet detail and the garter body, shaped by short rows.
