This pattern is a part of NAUTICAL Accessories Collection.

The versatility of classic work shawls, worn by fishermen’s wives, inspired me to design this piece large enough to wrap around the shoulders and tie in the back for full arm movement.
The cushiony garter stitch body is echoed in the horizontal rib on the wide flaring border, which features the same stitch pattern as the Ladder Cap, which could be paired with in a matching set.

enough yarn to finish.
