Baltic Memories is a beautiful, crescent shawl, worked in one piece, top-down. Knit in a light fingering weight yarn, it is a perfect accessory for summer evenings as well as for early spring and autumn days. Delicate lace patterns broken by simple garter stitch waves make it a beautiful, timeless piece.

This shawl is named after the Baltic Sea and its unquestionable beauty. Working on this design often took me back to my childhood, to all the wonderful moments I spent by this sea when I was growing up. The colorway of the main color used for this shawl is also named Baltico.
