Pattern info
Inspired by the Spanish dunes, beaches and boardwalks this shawl came alive and is knitted in a soft woolen yarn with a touch of luster.
Dunas is worked flat from the top down. Stitches are increased along the edges and along the center to create a shallow triangular shawl. The pattern is fully written and charted until one repeat of each section is done. A stitch count is added throughout the whole shawl.
