Product Description
This beginner-friendly, easy scarf shawl reminds me of patterns in the sand that I saw on a walk a while back. They had been caused by the sea and looked like waves!
3 sizes means it's great for family and friends. The simple stitch pattern can be added to with stripy, variegated yarns etc.,- how about a sparkly scarf or shawl for an aspiring princess? I have used alpaca rich yarn, but acrylic also knits up well, and is cheaper! (Paintbox Simply Chunky or Stylecraft Special Chunky.)
Skills needed - cast/bind on/off, knit, and yarn forward. Includes a set of detailed instructions with photos for beginners, and a basic set without photos for everyone else. In English with British/US terms.
Knitted in the same way as an asymmetrical scarf or shawl, the end result is virtually a triangle. A great first scarf shawl to knit for those new to knitting.

Sand Waves Scarf Shawl by Heather Corcoran
What Is Being Made
The Sand Waves Scarf Shawl is a versatile triangular shawl design available in three sizes: toddler, child, and adult. This beginner-friendly knitting project is inspired by wave patterns created by the sea in sand, offering a wearable accessory that combines simple construction with visual interest. The design includes optional tassels for added embellishment.
Design Specifications and Sizing
Each size offers different dimensions to suit various wearers:
- Toddler: Approximately 76cm (30 inches) wide and 36cm (14 inches) deep
- Child: Approximately 102cm (40 inches) wide and 46cm (18 inches) deep
- Adult: Approximately 152cm (60 inches) wide and 71cm (28 inches) deep
Depth measurements are taken from the centre top to the lower point of the triangular shawl. Optional tassels are not included in these measurements.
Yarn and Materials
This project uses chunky or bulky weight yarn, making it quick to complete and ideal for beginners. The pattern was designed using Berroco Ultra Alpaca Chunky in the colourway Barley 72189, which provides 120 metres (131 yards) per 100-gram ball.
Yarn requirements vary by size:
- Toddler: 2 balls (or 1 ball if omitting tassels); approximately 133 metres (145 yards) used
- Child: 2 balls; approximately 222 metres (242 yards) used
- Adult: 4 balls; approximately 470 metres (513 yards) used
Yardage may vary depending on the specific yarn chosen, and alternative chunky or bulky weight yarns can be substituted. If making the toddler size without tassels, a single ball of yarn may be sufficient.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
This is an easy, beginner-level knitting project designed with detailed instructional photography to guide new knitters through the construction process. The triangular shawl shape is achieved through straightforward knitting techniques appropriate for those learning the craft.
The pattern includes optional tassel embellishment, allowing crafters to customize the finished piece. The wave-inspired design translates the natural patterns found in sand into a knitted textile, creating visual texture and movement in the finished garment.
Format and Designer
This pattern is a downloadable PDF created by independent designer Heather Corcoran of The Lonely Sea. The comprehensive pattern includes detailed photography to support beginners in successfully completing the project.
