Product Details
This design calls on my memories of the everchanging intertidal coastline near Baie Verte, NB (Canada). It is said that the bay was named by French explorers in the 17th C for “the salt water grasses which in the summer make the bay look like an immense meadow." (W.F. Ganong)
The Strandlines Shawl forms a right-angle triangle worked sideways from the tip with increases on every RS row along the bias edge. Three stitch patterns make up the repeating stripe pattern - texture for the "seaweed" and lace for the "tidal channels" and "seashells". All three look equally attractive from either side, making the shawl reversible! The pattern includes row-by-row written instructions (with st counts) and charts.
Gauge: 26 sts x 32 rows to 10 cm/4 in using a 4 mm (US 6) needle. Achieving the blocked gauge will produce a shawl of similar size and drape as the sample shawl, as well as meet the yardage.
Diagonal = 178 cm/70 in
