Take Me To The Sea
Take Me to the Sea is a crescent-shaped shawl designed to showcase variegated and hand-painted yarns (especially those with short colour repeats). The body of this shawl is worked in a risotto stitch, and the anemone-stitch border is edged by Vikkel braids. This shawl knits up quickly, and was inspired by my good friend Shari Green’s colouring book, Take Me to the Sea, which features her lovely ocean-y sketches.
