One Skein Shawl Knitting Pattern - Aegean Waters

Kits are available for the Aegean Waters shawl.

This pattern can also be purchased on Ravelry

Aegean Waters is a semi-circular shawl that captures the essence of soft rolling waves lapping at the shore. Knitted with a single skein of 4ply yarn, a semi-tonal colourway works beautifully to evoke the gentle shimmer of sunlight upon waves.

The shawl begins with a calm sea of stockinette stitch for the body of the shawl. Then, like a soft breeze on the surface of the sea, the lace stitches work together to create a pretty chevron pattern rippling down to the border of the shawl.

Aegean Waters is perfect for those elegant summer evenings, draped lightly over the shoulders in the last glows of the setting sun. Whether sat on a terrace overlooking the water or strolling along the shore, Aegean Waters is your perfect holiday accessory for those warm summer evenings.
