INFO
’Pierside’ is inspired by the natural ripple patterns and air bubbles formed by the movement of the water by the pier. This asymmetrical but nearly triangular shawl complements its decorative panel with the soothing regularity of garter stitch.

Shown here in a merino/yak blend of Pascuali yarns, the accessory makes a striking impression with its lace panel, and as always, edges are neat and polished for a professional look. Enjoy creating your own Pierside shawl, whether with a quiet neutral or a vibrant color.

A stretchy bind-off provides a neat finish to the graphic design, which is easy to work from fully written-out directions with stitch counts, as well as a schematic and an easy-to-read chart.
