Advanced Beginner - This pattern is suited for those who are ready to learn new techniques.

Galene: an Ancient Greek goddess who personified the calm seas.

Imagine a calm day at the beach, listening to the gentle series of waves lapping at the shoreline. That is the feeling of this shawl, from the soft blue of the yarn to the rhythmic nature of garter stitch, occasionally interrupted by a simple column of slipped stitches.

The feel of the silk and the curve of the shape make it easy to wear around your shoulders.

This shawl begins at the narrow end and gradually increases, forming slipped stitch columns as you go. The end of the shawl is worked using short rows. This causes the slipped stitch columns to change direction and run perpendicular to the body of the shawl. The stitches are not complicated, as the body of the shawl is largely garter stitch. The short rows are worked with basic wrap and turns and do not require “picking up the wraps”.
