Tidal Treasure

"If you’ve ever wanted a crochet shawl that’s truly easy to make and beautiful enough to wear everywhere, this is it. The Tidal Treasures Shawl is a lightweight, beginner-friendly crochet shawl inspired by soft sea glass colors, coastal textures, and tiny shoreline treasures collected over time. Designed with a simple one-row repeat and relaxing rhythm, this is the kind of project you can pick up at the end of a long day and truly enjoy making. The open stitch pattern creates beautiful drape while gradient yarns, beads, and optional seaside-inspired charms add an elevated handmade feel. Inspired by the quiet coastal atmosphere of The Sea Glass Journal, this shawl feels soft, airy, wearable, and just a little magical — like sunlight on water and treasures gathered along the shore. Over the years, I’ve taught many absolute beginners how to crochet using simple increasing granny stitch patterns like this one. That afternoon, I taught her the basics of the granny stitch. The following week, she came back proudly carrying a granny square so large it could nearly cover a queen-sized bed. That’s the magic of simple crochet patterns like this. Once the rhythm clicks, it becomes relaxing, meditative, and almost impossible to put down. And that’s exactly the feeling I wanted to capture in the Tidal Treasures Shawl."
