Alaskan Dreams

Three whales playing in the rolling Alaskan seas in this elegant lace shawl, inspired by our dream cruise to Alaska. Graceful and flowing, the design captures the beauty of the sea and the wonder of watching whales in their natural habitat.

The center of the shawl is knit as one piece, then the decorative fish border is added to create a dramatic finishing touch. The generous size makes it perfect for wrapping around your shoulders on cool evenings or displaying as a stunning heirloom piece.
