ONE SKEIN SHAWL

Castaway Shores is a super fun one skein crescent shaped shawl! It exudes femininity and makes for a luxurious wrap on those cooler summer evenings. Knit on large needles, it introduces you to very basic lace interspersed between rows of super relaxing garter. The seashells are pronounced with a twisted rib and lace edge detail. It is finished with a looped eyelet bind off for that little extra touch of elegance.

The Castaway Shores samples have been knit using two beautiful yarns; the silky Titus 4ply, from Eden Cottage Yarns in a pale blue/grey, and the Beautifully Basic from Emma’s Yarn in an sea green.
