This gently crescent-shaped shawl is knitted sideways, from tip to tip all in one piece. It features a garter stitch body (to prevent curling), and a lace edging that is reminiscent of seaweed and waves. The width and depth of the garter stitch body can be easily modified to suit your preference.

In this version, I did not pin out the edge points, but it is possible to have a much more pointed-edge shawl if you desire it through pinning it out during blocking.

Knit the shawl in different yarn weights to suit different purposes – DK for a heavy, winter shawl; in lace for a light summer shoulder warmer or fingering weight (original pattern recommendation) for a shawl that is both a warm winter shawl and a lighter summer cover-up.

Designed in honour of the sea, and particularly seaweed – a sustainable source of delicious nutrition, this shawl bears the scientific name for Sea Lettuce.
