This crescent-shaped shawl is knit from the top down in a garter ridge stitch pattern with a lace border added as an applied edging. The design is inspired by the beautiful California shorelines that lead into our lovely Pacific Ocean. The shawl uses one color throughout with (optional) beading to achieve the “seafoam sparkle” along the border. The shawl can be worked in any of your favorite colors or combinations in fingering or sock weight, with or without beads.

The wonderful Raveller, zeknittingbird, has translated the pattern into French! The french version can be downloaded on her blog here : http://zeknittingbird.wordpress.com/2014/06/22/shoreline-...
There are also several posts that have beautiful photos and comments of this project and many others.
Merci beaucoup, zeknittingbird!!

Version 4 has been uploaded which includes the updates below. For some reason, my edit on the chart page to change the number of cast-on stitches from 22 to 20 did not appear on Version 3.

One additional clarification thanks to Robebe: The garter ridge table should end with 4 garter stitch rows and 386 stitches so that you cast on the 20 border stitches with the RS facing.

When you CO 20 sts for the border, the first 12 sts are for the lace section that increases and decreases over the 14 rows. It is very helpful to place a marker there. The remaining sts 8 sts that you work to the end of the row stay consistent. The first row shows that you will make 2 increases over the first 12 sts, which then = 14 sts. When you complete the remaining 8 sts, it will = 22 for row 1.

One other note: I started my second skein of yarn after 356 sts and then had ~7g left at the end. I used about 1g per lace repeat and there are 55 repeats. This will vary depending on the yarn you use and how you knit, but I thought it would be helpful to add as a note.
