Summertime means time at the beach or lakeside. This simple crescent-shaped lace shawl is perfect for breezy summer afternoons. It is light enough to ripple in the ocean spray as you walk along the shore collecting sea shells, yet it still provides just the right touch of warmth as the cool sea foam washes sand from your toes.

This is a great project for a beginning lace knitter. The shaping is worked along the selvage edges of the shawl on each row. The rippling wave lace pattern is a very simple stitch that yields a stunning result. The edge is worked in a very simple mesh stitch to add a light flowing boarder to your shawl.
