Crochet crescent-shaped shawl with pendants
Coraleena is a narrow crescent-shaped shawl that is easy to wear and acts as a talisman against cool sea breezes. The shawl is crocheted sideways and can be adapted to use any length of yarn. Dainty crochet coral pendant jewels adorn the crescent edge. Coraleena looks particularly beautiful in yarn that has ‘pops’ of colour changes.

Coraleena refers to the beliefs of the ancients that a coral talisman worn around the neck would protect the wearer. Protect our beautiful coral reefs and their abundant ecosystems by wearing a crochet talisman instead of the real thing.
