Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay, CA has long been a special place for us. It’s an in-between meeting place of warmth, conversation, and sometimes solace. Here at the beach, light is captured in waves and scattered over sand to soothing rhythmic sounds of water crashing. The cries of seagulls and pelicans mix with the laughter of tourists hoping to see the telltale puff of a whale spout.

The crescent shaped Miramar Beach Shawl captures some of this magic in nautical themed stitches which cascade outward in waves. A mix of textured stitches and lace patterns meld into a very wearable multi-season design.
