Deep navy fading into soft lilac — the Moonstone Tide Crochet Shawlechoes twilight at sea. A graceful gradient that moves like water, reflecting the hush of evening tides and the shimmer of moonlight on gentle waves.

This shawl begins with a pineapple perpendicular edging, worked outward from the center in both directions, before transforming into a pi-inspired half-circle built from the bottom up. Concentrated decreases shape the lace into elegant arcs, capturing the ebb and flow of the ocean as the design curves gracefully around the shoulders.

Lightweight and luminous, the Moonstone Tide is as meditative to make as it is magical to wear — a tranquil rhythm of stitches that celebrates the beauty of movement, moonlight, and the sea.
