Guest Design from Creations by Courtney on the Joy of Motion Blog. The Sand to Sea Shawl is the perfect layering accessory for chilly days or a night out to dinner. You can add beads to the wave stitches for a touch of bling, or you can choose a sparkly yarn for your bling. Be prepared to be stopped and asked, “Where did you get that fabulous shawl?” With a large grin, you can reply, “I made it!” You'll learn how to do short rows, attach two pieces of crochet while you work, and add beads without having to sew them on afterwards! Don't let it intimidate you. Just remember to read the pattern before beginning, and to take your time.

Sparkly Ocean Crochet Infinity Scarf
Sparkles and the beach-these are two of the best things in life, and they are combined here in the Sparkly Ocean Crochet Infinity Scarf. This easy crochet scarf has a beautiful shine from the unique variegated blue yarn, with just the right touch of bling. The crochet lace pattern adds to the soft and flirty appeal of this design, and you could wear this in any weather. If you loop it twice, you can get some wonderful bunched warmth, but you could also leave it long and let it accentuate the rest of your outfit.
The Courtney Crochet Scarf With Fringe
"Soft, flowy, warm and gorgeous are the best descriptors for the Courtney Crochet Scarf with Fringe. At first glance you may think you'll be working star stitches to make the scarf. And while you'd be really close, this stitch isn’t quite as full as a star stitch. (Which also means it is less of a yarn eater!) You'll love working this quick stitch and making a scarf that looks lovely and would make a great gift. Although it may look complicated, it is really simple."
The Joy Wrap
This pattern was designer by a guest designer through Joy of Motion Crochet. This is one size fits most. My wrap measures 65” x 13.5” unblocked. You can adjust the length by adding multiples of 6 to the starting chain. This pattern took me about 5 hours to make in total so it is a great option to gift or make a couple of for a special occasion such as a wedding - I think this would be stunning in white, cream or ivory for a bride and the accent colour for bridesmaids gifts! Because of its size, and despite it being in #3 weight yarn, it could also double up as a great scarf in winter. It is one of those pieces that you will always find a way of wearing despite the weather.
Footprints In The Sand Beach Shawl
"This footprints in the sand beach shawl is the perfect cover up on a warm sunny day. Making shawls for me never gets boring. Use one fine yarn gradient cake that comes to life with each crochet stitch that is completed. Semi-Circle Shawl Design This footprints in the sand beach shawl is worked in a semi-circular design. The shawl is worked from the top-down growing with each row that is added."
Sea Shells Shawl
The Sea Shells Shawl is made using four crochet stitches which creates this beautiful and intricate lacy shell design. The shawl is crocheted in one piece starting at one end and working in rows all way to the other end which makes it a rectangle shape. It's an absolute dream to work up and can be made quite quickly once you get used to the stitch layout. I would say this pattern is for the intermediate crocheter due to knowing where to put your stitches. I have explained it as well as possible in the free pattern below so if you are a advanced beginner crocheter you may want to try it out. This Sea Shells Shawl pattern is made in one size but in the paid pattern I have included the multiples so you can make it in any size that you would prefer and with your ideal yarn.
