The Wavelet Crescent Shawl design is inspired by the long curve of a sandy beach. The shawl is constructed top-down, from across the back of the neck to the outer edge.

After casting on a long centre section, the top border is worked in an eyelet pattern. This is followed by the crescent shape, which is created using short row shaping. The outer shawl section is inspired by multiple waves rippling along the shoreline. The wave pattern is emphasised with reverse stocking stitch ridges.

The Wavelet shawl is knitted in Irish Artisan Yarn (IAY) Hand-Dyed 4Ply Sock Yarn (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon, 400m/437yd per 100g skein), shade Keem Bay; 2 × 100g skeins
(Yarn amounts given are based on average requirements and are approximate)

The second shawl shown in my photos is knitted in the same IAY yarn in shade Lahinch.
