Rocky Coastline Shawl kits available at PolkaDotSheep.com
_______________________________________________________

Inspired by the rugged beauty of the shoreline, Rocky Coastline Shawl is an asymmetrical design combining beautiful color, texture, and thoughtful shaping.

The shawl uses two colors: a Polka Dot Sheep Striata gradient paired with a semi-solid Iron Horse. Short rows serve multiple purposes. They frame the lower edge in garter stitch, highlight the Anemone Stitch, and create a longer neck edge for a comfortable, flattering fit.

A video tutorial for the Anemone Stitch can be found on our Polka Dot Sheep YouTube channel to guide you through this distinctive textured stitch.

GENERAL NOTES
• The short rows are multifunctional. They keep the lower edge framed in garter stitch, highlight the anemone stitch, and, most importantly, create a longer neck edge for a better fit.
• There is no need to cut the yarn between color changes. Carry the unused color up the side of the work, tacking it under the second stitch of each row as you go.
