Knitted sideways, the shawl is designed to make the most of the single skein of your favourite fingering weight yarn. Drawing inspiration from sea buckthorn with its pointy leaves and bright berry clusters, Elaea features an intricately textured outer edge panel that contrasts against the soft background of the moss stitch main body.
