Product Details

In English naval history , an “old salt” is an experienced sailor and teller of sea stories. Inspired by seafaring stories passed down through generations, this gansey-style shawl transitions from one stitch pattern to the next while framed in soft waves.

Tech editing by Deborah Lapp

Finished size: 69” wingspan and 29” tall at center.

Gauge: 17 sts and 26 rows over 4” (10 cm) of stockinette stitch after blocking.

Notes
The yarn used in the sample, Galway by Diamond, has been discontinued. Cascade 220 Superwash Aran would be a suitable alternative.
