The colors of Friesenblau (German for Friesian Blue, a specific shade of blue named after the Friesland region in the Netherlands) call to mind a summer’s day at the ocean, the beach, sunshine, shells, waves and village life at the coast.

The shape of the shawl is a long triangle, which makes it very wearable.

The colorful pattern is achieved with the help of slipped stitches, which means you only work with one color at a time.
