Inspired by Neil Gaiman’s “The Ocean at the End of the Lane,” Lettie’s Ocean Shawl is knit with Cascade 220 Heathers in worsted weight yarn. The yarn color, Satine, really captures the ocean feel of the textured stitch and brings the mood of the shawl to life.

Lettie’s Ocean Shawl knitting pattern knits up in one piece and is suitable for beginner knitters and above.
