Sea Shift Shawl

Finally I have launched this pattern! No real reason for the delay, other than life getting in the way. This shawl was designed to use some handspun yarn of mine.

This was some of my earliest handspun lace weight, spun from two different braids of Corriedale fibre, one solid royal blue and the other a variegated blue-green. Plying them together resulted in a marled yarn with a gorgeous colour shift through the blues and greens, pretty but difficult to work with without having the colour changes fight with the pattern. 

The design needed to be something relatively plain, to allow the yarn to be centre-stage. With around 850 yards, I had enough for a good size shawl but a complicated lace design would have been completely lost. Sea Shift is almost completely stocking stitch which showcases the colour changes of the yarn, with varying eyelet rows to produce the Pi increases that form the semi-circular shape. Towards the outer edge, a section of mesh and garter stitch finish the shawl.

As with all my designs, the pattern is available in my Ravelry store, and you can buy the PDF pattern download by clicking here or on any of the photos.
