My latest and also last shawl design uses my favorite sock yarn, the lovely Symfonie Terra yarn! My Rippling Water Shawl is the third of the final five designs that I am publishing before I retire from crochet designing. The yarn is so soft and the pattern brings the colors to life. I really hope you enjoy making the shawl.

In this post you find all information about my the scarf, including yarn details, the free pattern and free video tutorial.
