Nothing shouts clean, crisp summertime more than nautical stripes. Add some stunning lace edging and color accents and you have the perfect summer shawl. Whether for a beach bonfire, swimsuit sarong or posh cruise wear, you’ll find yourself reaching for it all summer long.

Directions are fully written and charted.
