Coastline Shawl

Coastline Shawl is an elegant asymmetric lace shawl worked from the bottom up. The design features short rows similar to many crescent shawls, but with a unique shape where the deepest point is off-center, creating a sweeping effect. A lace panel runs from the top edge to the bottom, blending into the lace border. Perfect for showcasing the colors of hand-dyed sock or sport weight yarn, Coastline Shawl is a versatile and lightweight accessory.
