The Sand to sea crescent shawl is easy and very enjoyable to knit. The needle size also makes this a rather quick knit.

Inspired by sweet summer days and an outing to the ocean.
The colors in this crescent shaped shawl depict the depth of the sea and the white crisp sand at the shoreline. The textural fringed cotton tape yarn feels cool against your skin and makes it a pleasure to wrap yourself up in after a day at the beach.

You will see though that a few test knitters have created their versions in more earthy beautiful colors.
