INFO
Like the gentle ridges left by wind and sea, Sandlines features small twisted cables that move across the fabric in soft, flowing lines. The design is inspired by quiet moments at the shore, where the tide goes out and the breeze shapes fine patterns in the sand. These subtle textures give the scarf a calm, natural rhythm that echoes the shifting landscape of the coast.

The stitch pattern is simple yet detailed, making it an engaging knit that works well in a variety of yarns. It is an easy-to-knit and easy-to-wear piece, suited for quiet days by the sea or everyday moments when you want a touch of nature close by.
