Dreams of the West Coast is a gift, a wish for a dear friend on her wedding day. A hug with the reminder of the place, friends and family she left for her prairie love.

Dreams of the West Coast is based on a bridal shawl knit for a friend. The shawl features mountain motifs, a canopy of leaves and crashing waves reminiscent of the Pacific Coast. To keep Lisa’s bridal shawl one of a kind some elements have been altered.

Regardless of if you are from the Pacific West Coast or not, this shawl will snugly wrap you in dreams of forests and mountain ranges. Knit in a luxurious lace for a light summer wrap or a cozy fingering for cooler months.
