Lakeshore is a crescent-shaped shawl with increases at the beginning and end of each row. It is worked using two different yarn (and/or two colors) alternating them to create a ripple-like effect. The shawl uses stripes, dropped stitches and lace to create the pattern.

Lakeshore was originally published as a stand-alone PDF. Now included in my book A Little Book of Moon-Inspired Shawls. The versions are worked in different yarns.

Materials:
• Yarn: MC: 2 balls of Knitting for Olive Merino (100% extra fine merino; 273 yds / 250 m – 50 g). Or approx. 410 yds / 375 m of fingering weight yarn.
