Sea Glass Secrets MCAL Part 6 Mystery Crochet Along Assembly and Edging

We’ve arrived at the final chapter of the Sea Glass Secrets Mystery Crochet-Along! ✨

Over the past few weeks, we’ve stitched together a collection of motifs—star, dragonfly, sailboat, flower, and sea turtle—each one inspired by themes from my novel The Sea Glass Journal. Just as Tess pieces together her past to create a new beginning, we’ve brought together individual symbols into something greater than the sum of its parts.

In this final part, we’ll assemble all of your finished motifs and complete the shawl with a graceful edging. The joining stitches and border frame your motifs like sea glass set into driftwood, transforming small fragments into a stunning heirloom piece.

This is where all your work comes together—your story stitched into a shawl.
