Waveline Shawl
Waveline Shawl is an elegant crescent-shaped lace shawl featuring multiple repeats of Crest of the Wave Lace, a simple yet striking lace pattern. A variation of the well-known Scallop Lace, Crest of the Wave Lace creates a delicate openwork design that beautifully complements the shawl's curved shape. The shawl is worked from the bottom up, with short rows shaping the crescent form. Made from luxurious hand-dyed fingering weight yarn, Waveline Shawl is an excellent accessory for cool summer nights or as a cozy winter scarf.
