Now featured in a new palette inspired by the rustic charm of Dutch landscapes—think bricks, winter skies, fishing nets, and wooden boats—this generous rectangular wrap reflects the tones of its surroundings. As a mindful crochet project, the pattern soon becomes second nature, allowing your hands to work almost effortlessly.

Originally introduced as the Saltwater Throw in YARN Bookazine 13 - Wadden, this pattern remains a favourite from our archives, showcasing the transformative power of a simple colour change!

To create your own unique version, select two colourways (using two cakes of each) from our long-gradient Scheepjes Whirl range. The result is a cosy, beautifully draped wrap finished with an elegant crab stitch edging on the shorter sides.
