Create your own piece of art with this elegant knitting pattern that utilizes just 1, 2, or 3 colors to evoke the essence of the beach. Whether you opt for soft sandy tones, deep ocean blues, or gentle sunset hues, this shawl will be a stunning addition to your wardrobe.
Yardage Details:
- 530 yards of body color for the main shawl body
