The Emerald Bay Shawl is available to purchase on Ravelry, on LoveCrafts, and in my Etsy Shop!
A cozy, yet lightweight shawl inspired by the colors and textures of Emerald Bay, the jewel of Lake Tahoe. In this inlet, you’ll find glorious shades of turquoise and indigo blues, dotted with gorgeous greys and deep emerald greens. Featuring soothing sections of garter stitch and an intriguing ripple and waves motif, knitting this shawl is as breezy as Lake Tahoe!
