Mermaid on the Beach Shawl

"A stunning shawl in a mesh pattern, perfect for a day on the beach – or for days where you want to be on the beach! The double decreases and double yarn overs require some attention to work, but the end result will be worth it! You can choose between a fun border made of i-cord-rings or a more toned down garter stitch border.
