Sandy Waves is a calm knitting experience that is as relaxing as watching waves roll in along a sandy beach. This right-triangle shawl packs a punch of texture to show off beautifully hand dyed yarns. Slipped stitch waves look intricate and impressive but are very simple for even beginners to knit. Seed stitch represents the sand of the beach and makes for soothing breaks in between slipped stitch patterning. Experienced knitters can enjoy a tranquil knitting break and newbie knitters can knit an interesting stitch pattern with confidence.
