Forvie Shawl
Growing up on the coast, Kirsten has had the sea as part of her life since she was very small. The ever-shifting combination of water and coastline as the tides change the landscape – both bringing to and taking away from the shore – was the inspiration for this design.
The gentle eyelet motifs create a wave-like texture and are paired with a linear slip-stitch pattern that evokes the rolling sand dunes which accompany so many beaches.
Forvie Shawl is designed in 1 size:
Finished width: 152 cm (73 in)
Finished depth: 52 cm (20.5 in)

CC: Masham Mayhem in Selkie; 1 skein
Note: this version uses the same colour - Selkie - on different bases (Ginger’s Hand Dyed Splendor 4-ply and Masham Mayhem4-ply). The bases take up the dye differently resulting in beautiful tones and textures.
