Knit a Beautiful Handmade Shawl with a Single Skein of Yarn

The Spindrift Shawl is inspired by the expansive Pacific Ocean. The deep sea swell of the crescent shape is complemented by a deep eyelet border and picot edge which froths like the foam at the crest of a wave. Delicate, pretty and deceptively simple to knit, it’s a lovely size for an everyday accessory to add a bit of warmth and style to any outfit.
