The beautiful Salt Water and Sea Stars shawl pattern is available now! I designed this gorgeous end-to-end shawl pattern in the pretty Sage colourway of Akara Yarns Merino Sock. This beachy colourway inspired me to use this pretty lace and cable pattern for the lace edge. The depth, texture, and pointed arms of the 6-stitch cable remind me of sea stars or sand dollars. And the pretty blue with speckles of gold looks like ocean water along the sandy seashore.
This end-to-end shawl starts with only 4 cast-on stitches and ends with 4 stitches to bind off. The garter body and lace border are knit at the same time all in one piece. It’s shown here in one skein of yarn (420 yards) but can be made smaller or larger. Instructions are included in the pattern.
The pattern also includes instructions for the pretty cable stitch. You can also find a photo tutorial here at leahmichelledesigns.com: Working the 2/2/2 Left Purl Cross (LPC).
