Beach Nights

Is there any better feeling than walking along the beach as the sun goes down, listening to the water crashing along the shore and smelling the salty night air? Waves of fishtail lace and colorful seashells come to life on your knitting needles in this asymmetric triangular shawl. Choose your palette to create a look that is soft and subtle, bold and bright, or a rainbow shining over the water, ready for whatever the Beach Nights might bring.

Lace is both charted and written, but experience with lace is recommended for this intermediate design. A video tutorial is included with the pattern to demonstrate the conch stitch.
