Ocean Home Shawl

The Ocean Home Shawl is worked from the top down beginning with a garter tab cast-on. The instructions for this cast-on result in a shawl with a nice straight edge that’s a breeze to block without the dreaded garter hump! Once the desired wingspan has been reached, the border of the shawl continues in a lace pattern that’s reminiscent of waves swirling and churning around a rocky shore. Finally your trip to the ocean ends with a bind off that’s stable enough for the shawl’s edge, but stretchy enough to accommodate blocking the watery lace. The top portion is worked in easy going garter stitch that resembles a rocky texture. Rows of “bubbles” are made with simple yarn overs and decreases. The craggy surface combined with the bubbles creates a pleasing texture as well as a rhythmic and calming experience. Pattern also includes an optional chart for the lace section, schematic, mods to change the size, and row tracker.
