Sea Cravings

Once you have lived near the sea, it's always challenging to settle away from the endless blue horizon that calls for your attention. Every now and then, I experience what I like to call "Sea Cravings," a strong desire that compels me to visit the nearest beach to stand in awe of the water and inhale the invigorating salty air. It's a sensory experience that brings a blissful sense of calm.

During one of those fulfilling trips to the shore, I had the pleasure of meeting Helen, a talented yarn dyer behind Giddy Yarns. We engaged in a delightful conversation about the sea and how to interpret this insatiable yearning for the ocean through knitting patterns. That's when Helen introduced me to her stunning Turning Tide yarns, which perfectly captured my longing for the sea, inspiring me to create this unique pattern.

Introducing "Sea Cravings," a beautiful triangle shawl that serves as a sister pattern to my popular "Blend In, Stand Out" design. This pattern utilizes garter stitch and a straightforward lace motif to evoke the gentle ripples of the waves, creating a stunning visual representation of the sea’s movement.

Yarn Requirements: For this enchanting shawl, I recommend Giddy Yarns' Turning Tide fade set, which includes 3 skeins of 100g yarn with a yardage of 425 meters per 100 grams. The blend consists of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon, ensuring both comfort and durability. The yarn colors are as follows:

• Colour A: 110 meters
• Colour B: 413 meters
• Colour C: 410 meters

This pattern is perfect for knitters of varying skill levels looking to incorporate ocean-inspired elements into their work. So grab your needles, let the soothing sounds of the waves inspire your creativity, and dive into the Sea Cravings pattern to bring your love for the sea into your knitting projects!
