Shale Beach Shawl
The Shale Beach Shawl features an elegantly simple allover chevron design, making it the perfect canvas for highlighting many of the beautiful tonal and hand-dyed yarns currently on the market.
The pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit to reduce the potential for error.
