A top down triangular shawl using two colours of 4ply. The lace border is a stitch known as ‘seafoam’ lace, so I’ve named this pattern after the Solway Firth off the coast of Dumfries and Galloway. When the wind gets up then great lumps of seafoam come flying over the headlands. The lace border is made by dropping multiple yarn overs.
