Named for the Greek islands at the heart of Aegean sea, this classic triangular shawl begs for a sea breeze to flutter in. The stitches in the shawl are simple lace, interspersed with sections of lateral braids and nupps, for a bit of texture and to keep the knitter’s interest.

The real fun comes after blocking, when the fringes are applied. Work from the centre out to get a gradient effect from a long colour change yarn like the Zauberball Crazy used here, use a mini skeins set or look through your stash for your favourite leftovers from other projects.
