Aquamarine is a feminine, sophisticated shawl, an accessory adding subtle elegance to your outfit. Perfect for dress-up occasions but can also make an average day special.

This shawl is worked from the top down and has a crescent shape, which makes it very wearable. The body consists of easy-to-work lace and cable, garter and stockinette rows, relaxing but interesting to knit. The beauty of the shawl is further enhanced by the decorative edging.
