Galina
Galina is a seaside region in St-Mary, Jamaica, just outside the capital of the parish where I was born. The views from the area are truly breathtaking. Each panel is adorned with a gentle lace trim that dances in the wind. When the four panels are combined, they signify the interconnectedness of individuals from different parts of the coast. As in the Jamaican national motto: “Out of many, one people”.

Galina is worked in four identical pieces from the top down and sewn together. A lace pattern at the hem adds fun and flair. Upon completion, you will seam the shoulder straps, the sides and the fronts.
Select a yarn with some elasticity that allows for draping.
