Notes From the Designer:

Camarodonta is a scientific order of sea urchin. This circular shawl swirls with lace designs reminiscent of both ocean movement and the intricate patterning of sea urchin fossils. Based on Elizabeth Zimmerman’s marvelous pi shawl concept,  just six increase rounds (most at the beginning) let you enjoy lace knitting without the worry of an ever-changing stitch count. 

I credit Bonnie Sennott for her brilliant solution to working the starlight lace pattern stitch in the round (Section 2) by moving the beginning of round stitch marker on two rows to make the repeats shift properly. Thanks also to Mwaa Knit for the adaptation of a stitch pattern (Section 3) from The Haapsalu Shawl by Siiri Riemann.
