The ever changing colors of the inside of shells in New Zealand - the mother of pearl or Paua as the Maori say - inspired me to create this shawl. All the blues and greys of the Rimu yarn perfectly showcase this play of colors.

And the best - the first ten buyers will get the pattern for 3 € (ca. 3,50 US$):-)

Gauge: 16 stitches x 40 rows in garter stitch for 10 x 10 cm and needle 5mm, but not crucial for a shawl

Construction: The shawl starts with the long side and is shaped with decreases/ hold stitches at the start and end of each row. The shell edge is knitted over all the left stitches at the end as described below.
