Total yards used for this sample: approximately 770 yds total (425 yds Color A, 125 yds Color B, 125 yds Color C, 85 yds Color D) / [704 m total (389 m Color A, 114 m Color B, 114 m Color C, 78 m Color D)]. Use your leftover yarn to knit the companion pattern, the Countercurrent Cloche.
If those colors aren't available, any from this category will work.
HOOK:

SKILL LEVEL:
Adventurous Beginner: This pattern is for those crocheters who know basic stitches and are ready to learn some new skills. Skills/concepts include simple increases and decreases and working into back loops only.
Notes from the Designer:
Accretion is the process of growth or increase, typically by the gradual accumulation of additional layers or matter. It is the opposite of erosion, such as when waves push sand back upon the shore. This shawl gradually increases with row upon row of simple single and double crochet stitches that alternate to form a subtle texture as you work the body from one point to the other. Adding waves along the border seemed natural, and working into the back loops only on every other row creates a slight ridged effect that’s reminiscent of waves cresting atop one another.

- The size is not easily adjustable, but you can go up or down a hook size to adjust the size, if you prefer.
- Gauge is not crucial to this project, but it will affect yardage and overall size.
- This pattern uses four colors, but it can be made with more or fewer if you prefer.
- You may find it easier to weave in most of the yarn tails prior to working the edging.
- Set up your border stitches using removable stitch markers (optional). Fold the shawl body in half vertically to determine the center point, which should be around the area of Rows 81-82. Place a marker at the center point on the shaped edge. Place markers at Row 64 and Row 100 on the shaped edge. Place 6 additional markers approximately the same distance apart along shaped edge. You will work 17 sc between markers.
