Ashputtel

Introducing a captivating design from the *Little Book of Fairy Tales*, this enchanting crescent-shaped shawl beautifully highlights the vital role of the Fairy Godmother, inspired by the timeless tale of Ashputtel—a captivating Cinderella-esque narrative where the importance of the helper shines through.

This stunning shawl features two distinct lace patterns: one representing Ashputtel and the other dedicated to her magical Fairy Godmother. These lace designs can be worked in various ways—repeat them endlessly, alternate between them, or create each one individually for a unique look. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern allows for endless creativity.

The design also includes an optional beading element, adding a sprinkle of magic to your finished piece. Perfectly adaptable to any yardage from lace to DK weight yarn, this shawl accommodates your personal preferences and yarn stash, making it a versatile choice for any knitting project.

Both written instructions and charts are provided, ensuring a seamless knitting experience as the pattern is worked solely on the right side (RS). This shawl is a heartfelt reminder of those special individuals who have supported you in times of need or those serendipitous moments that have touched your life.
