Pebble Beach Shawl is a light crescent shaped accessory, perfect for keeping off chilly sea breezes while at the beach. The shawl is knit with one or two skeins of luxury yarn – in a different weight for each size, and is the perfect travel and holiday knitting project.
A simple yet effective lace pattern means this project can be packed alongside your craft magazines and chick-lit beach reading. It drapes beautifully across the shoulders and the picot bind off gives a polished finish like the stones on Brighton Beach.
Instructions are written in my percentage checklist style.
The Pebble Beach Shawlette has grown up into a Shawl!
The updated pattern now includes two more sizes - medium and large!
NOTE: There are two files when you purchase this pattern - the original “Shawlette” and the “Shawl” file which contains all three sizes.
There aren’t any charts included because the lace is simple and easy to memorise.
