The Sea Pearls Shawl is a delicate crescent shaped shawl inspired by the jewels of the deep sea. Simple lace and contrast color texture stripes referred to as “pearl strings” break up relaxing gar-ter stitch sections, and are placed in a unique arrangement that is both fun and sweet. Anticipation builds as the lace and pearl stings increase and grow closer together.
