Oleada is a simple rectangular shawl inspired by the waves of the sea. It is designed to be worn in a variety of ways. Wrapped around the shoulders like a traditional stole, or buttoned in several different configurations — at the sides to form a shrug, in front as a cape, or up the front and back to be worn as a vest.

This pattern is available for individual purchase or as part of Beyond the Sea, a collection of six patterns inspired by the ocean and appropriate for all-season wear. The designs include two sweaters, a cowl, a shawlette, and a pair of knee socks.
