Cape Shoalwater

Discover the beauty of Cape Shoalwater, a stunning spit of beach nestled at the mouth of Willapa (WILL-ah-pah) Bay, where the inland shoals of Washington state meet the Pacific Ocean. This unique knitting pattern captures the vibrant rhythms of colors reminiscent of the tides and rivers flowing into Willapa Bay, which serve as the lifeblood of this picturesque region.

The Cape Shoalwater pattern is crafted in the round using three complementary colors and features simple variations of slipped stitch garter. With charts designed for easy adaptation in multiples of 2 and 3 stitches, this project is not only beautiful but also incredibly versatile. It can be easily resized to fit your personal style or measurements. Although the pattern is optimally designed for sport weight yarns, you can experiment with different weights of yarn and needle sizes to create a unique project tailored to your preferences. Just keep in mind that any adjustments in size or yarn selection will impact the total yardage you will require.

The creation of the Cape Shoalwater begins with a convenient provisional crochet cast-on, ensuring a seamless start. After establishing the ribbing, you will transition into the eye-catching colorwork that characterizes this design. To complete your masterpiece, the cape is finished off with a neat I-cord bind-off, giving it a polished and professional touch. With its beautiful design and engaging techniques, this pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a stunning accessory that pays homage to the natural beauty of Willapa Bay.
