Sea Fans

Sea Fans is a crescent shaped shawl, with garter stitch, sea fan lace and lace waves spreading out to a generous wingspan, with a gently undulating border generated by the lace sections and picot border.
The sections of garter stitch make for a relaxing knitting experience, as do the lacy waves. An adventurous beginner will find the lace stitches easy to memorize, but will keep seasoned knitters interested.
The waves are a reminder of the currents and clear waters found in the Florida Keys, with a rainbow of brightly colored fish, seahorses, starfish and other inhabitants that thrive in the warm tropical waters teeming with diversity found in only a few other places. The sea fans gently sway in the currents doing their eternal dance of survival.
