Stormy Swells

Introducing ‘Stormy Swells,’ an enchanting asymmetrical triangular shawl inspired by the silvery, lustrous hue of Swanky DK yarn from Magpie Fibers and the serene beauty of daily seaside walks. This stunning pattern invites you to immerse yourself in the experience of standing on a cozy garter-stitch shore, gazing out at the mesmerizing, ceaseless swells of a wind-whipped ocean. The unique swath of cables creates a captivating interplay of undulating lines, evoking the essence of stormy seas and tranquil moments on the beach.

A standout feature of the ‘Stormy Swells’ shawl is its near reversibility—this means that both sides of the shawl boast their own charm, differing in just one delightful detail.
