Pebble Beach Shawl

Description

Pebble Beach Shawl is a light crescent-shaped accessory, perfect for keeping off chilly sea breezes while at the beach. The shawl is knit with one or two skeins of luxury yarn – in a different weight for each size, and is the perfect travel and holiday knitting project.

A simple yet effective lace pattern means this project can be packed alongside your craft magazines and chick-lit beach reading. It drapes beautifully across the shoulders and the picot bind off gives a polished finish like the stones on Brighton Beach.

Instructions are written in my percentage checklist style.

The Pebble Beach Shawlette has grown up into a Shawl!

The updated pattern now includes two more sizes – medium and large!

NOTE: There are two files when you purchase this pattern – the original “Shawlette” and the “Shawl” file which contains all three sizes.

There aren’t any charts included because the lace is simple and easy to memorise.
