Beachy

This is a test swatch of a pattern worked in three colors: ecru, taupe, and light blue.  I'm going for a "waves and sea shells" vibe. I experimented a little with just crocheting in the back loop on some of the rows.   I love the color combo.  It feels totally beachy to me.

That's SO PRETTY! May I suggest a swimming suit made of it? Or maybe a swim cover-up?

Gorgeous colours. I can see it in a nursery with a beachy sort of theme with clouds on the ceiling. Beautiful.

Oh yes, that is very beachy! As soon as I saw it I had memories of childhood trips to Florida! That would look awesome as a beach tote.

Beach baggy was my first reaction. I feel like I could take home sand, water, & a fish if I had a bag like that =).... beach in a bag (there's an idea, hehe)

Blue is one of my favourite colours - just the right shade for making you feel serene and calm :@)

I love this pattern and yes, it looks very beachy to me, too! It almost looks like waves and foam... What kind of yarn are you using?

How lovely! Your colors inspired me to dig into my stash, and I've found some sockweight in a similar colorway, which might hold me until your pattern is ready for publication. Keep us informed, please!
