Arribadas means ‘arrivals’ in Spanish! This is our first mystery shawl and inspired by the waves, foam, and wonderful creatures that keep our seas healthy and vibrant…like the wonderful sea turtles!
Here is a bit more about the Arribada in Costa Rica!

If you would like to make your own colour combination, choose a dark, medium, and light colour threesome.

This is a pattern for a triangular shaped shawl worked from the top down. The design includes delicate texture, bold lace, 13 rows of stranded colourwork, and a few nupps (optional). (If you work more tightly, you may want to omit nupps or purchase extra CC2.)

As many of you ask …whoohoo, there is also, an extended chart. If you choose to work the extended chart, you will need an additional skein of CC2.
The extended chart uses approximately 200yds/183m (depending on knitting style).
