The lace in this pattern I sometimes see labeled as “horseshoe,” but whenever I look at it I see mermaid tails diving beneath the waves.

In maritime lore, the Mermaid was not just a pretty piece of tail to chase after months at sea. She was a powerful creature whose wrath was to be feared . When displeased, she could call up the winds to bright a mighty squall and dash a ship to pieces.

So in honor of the Wrenna pattern and the greyish purple-and-green of an angry ocean that is my yarn, I give you the “Stormy Sea Jacket/Mermaid’s Revenge”
