INFO
The intricate sand prints intermingled with the beach’s rippled texture, creating a captivating mosaic where ocean memories met footprints under the sunlit sky.

Despite its cabled appearance, the shawl is actually an all-over lace pattern.

A stretchy bind-o provides a neat finish to this design, which is easy to work from fully written-out directions with stitch counts, as well as a schematic and easy-to-read charts.
