Waves emerge from the fog to lap at a rocky shoreline called Pickleweed Point. Perfect for a morning beach walk, Pickleweed Point Shawl features sparsely beaded lace, a soothing center stockinette section and nearly mirrored waves on either side of a center point.

Pickleweed Point is knit side to side, forming an elongated scallop. The top border features a knit-in I-cord to maintain shape while the bottom sloped border has optional beads. Pickleweed Point may be worked from written directions or chart until the written bind off.
