3 Gorgeous Ways to Wear a Half Pi Shawl
I love wearing shawls and the half pi shape, shown here in this lace weight Seaspray shawl, is particularly pretty and feminine. Here are my three favourite ways to style them:
1. Cozy Scarf Style
Even a super sheer lace shawl can be cozy and warm when wrapped snug around a time or two with just a short end sticking out. I wear it this way when I'm on my bike and need to keep the wind off my neck. Be sure the layers are piled up high for maximum snuggle.
I'm wearing it here with my Halyard Cardigan.
2. Shoulder Wrap
Draping it around my shoulders and tucking one end under really shows off that wavy picot edge. It's a little dressier than scarf style, but can still be casual while also impressing the heck out of all your knitting friends.
P.S. I love to layer all the things and I sewed all three of the tops in this picture. Not the jeans, but that's a 2018 goal!
3. Draping Just So
Yes, I'm wearing it with jeans here, but this is how I would style Seaspray if I was going for fancy. If you've got a special occasion and are wearing that perfect dress, just drape this lace over your shoulders for extra wow (and functional warmth!) This would be awfully pretty in soft white for a springtime bride.

I live just a short walk away from a park that’s right on the water. There’s a sweet beach, forested paths, and striking rocky shoreline that gets strong, crashing waves coming in. I’m always mesmerized by the colour and drama of the sea, and amazed that I get to live so close to such an impressive place. I named this shawl Seaspray thinking of my walks along the boulders.
Worked in a draping lace weight yarn, Seaspray combines several intuitive lace patterns using the simple shape of a half pi shawl for elegant and impressive results. It’s finished off with a wavy lace pattern reminiscent of the sea.
Knit it in a watery blue-green like this one in Sincere Sheep Diaphanous - the color is fittingly called Agean - or choose soft white for a perfect bridal accessory.
Lace patterns are charted and written.
