This shawl is knitted with a bedazzling shell stitch pattern. The French name for shell is Coquille. The name is as pretty as the shawl, don't you think?
Rectangular in shape and generous in size. You hold two distinct yarns together throughout this project which give great stitch definition and a bit of sheen even for an elegant look.
