Like a gentle tide brushing the shore, the Tidal Whisper Shawl captures the rhythm and serenity of the sea through its delicate lace motifs and airy drape. Built from soft cotton squares and triangles that resemble rippling petals, each motif joins seamlessly to form a flowing triangular silhouette.

Whether you’re drawn to the meditative joy of motif work or the beauty of coastal-inspired design, this project offers both relaxation and refinement. The stitch patterns are simple yet lyrical — easy to memorize, soothing to repeat, and stunning to wear.

Part of the Sea Glass Collection, this design reflects the balance between movement and stillness — like whispers of the ocean breeze at dusk.
