Originally introduced as the Saltwater Throw in YARN Bookazine 13 - Wadden, this pattern remains a favourite from our archives, showcasing the transformative power of a simple colour change!

Now featured in a new palette inspired by the rustic charm of Dutch landscapes—think bricks, winter skies, fishing nets, and wooden boats—this generous rectangular wrap reflects the tones of its surroundings. As a mindful crochet project, the pattern soon becomes second nature, allowing your hands to work almost effortlessly.

To create your own unique version, select two colourways (using two cakes of each) from our long-gradient Scheepjes Whirl range. The result is a cosy, beautifully draped wrap finished with an elegant crab stitch edging on the shorter sides.
