Designed with thoughts of the Oregon coast in mind, imagine the waves breaking along the rocks and the cool breeze whipping your hair and replenishing the soul. Like the ebb and flow of a perfect day at the beach, this shawl embodies the balance of the complex rush of waves hurdling to the shore with the relaxed slide of water as it recedes. The combination of garter sections acts as relief between the more complex fisherman’s rib and lace sections. This is a must-take shawl on your next coastal indulgence.
