If you purchase 5 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.

When I first started thinking about this design and what I wanted, I stumbled over a photograph of a whale shark and its fascinating patterning. I looked at many other pictures, but somehow kept coming back to this one.

This shawl is my take on translating this graphic pattern into knitwear—its wavy lines, its dots and the fluid overall impression.

Canopy Fingering turned out to be the perfect yarn choice - its amazing stitch definition really lets the pattern shine.
