Ocean Charm is a soothing, sea-inspired, bandit-style cowl that blends texture, lace, and color in a graceful wave of stitches. It begins with the elegant Delta Lace stitch, worked flat in a variegated yarn that mimics the ever-changing ocean surface. After blocking to shape, the piece transitions to working in the round with a tonal yarn, using double crochet and subtle lace for a gentle, rolling texture. A shell stitch edging completes the design with a soft wave — the perfect detail to cap off this breezy coastal project.
