Beeswax Shawl
Warm up your autumn or sweeten your spring with a stunning Honeycomb-Textured Shawl! This beautiful Beeswax Shawl is the perfect accessory for any season, showcasing elegant large-scale lace motifs that are also featured in the beloved Beeswax Scarf. The shawl's unique diamond shape is worked sideways from tip to tip, ensuring that each row remains short and quick. This technique not only enhances the knitting experience but also allows the lace pattern to create graceful scalloped edges as you work.
Skills & Techniques: This project is ideal for knitters looking to enhance their skills with simple lace knitting techniques, including knit, purl, yarn-over, k2tog, and ssk.
Materials Needed: You will need 2 skeins of Vintage Purls Superstar yarn, which comprises 70% NZ Polwarth, 20% Tussah Silk, and 10% Black NZ Merino (with 415 yards/380 meters per 100g skein). Alternatively, you can use a total of 811 yards / 742 meters of fingering-weight yarn to achieve the perfect drape and texture.
Finished Measurements: After blocking, the shawl measures a generous 74”/188cm in length from end to end, and it reaches 28.25”/72cm at its widest point. For those looking to customize their project, the shawl can easily be enlarged by working additional repeats (with extra yarn).
Both charts and written instructions are provided in full, making it simple for you to follow along seamlessly. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a beginner eager to try your hand at lacework, the Beeswax Shawl offers an enjoyable knitting experience that culminates in a breathtaking finished piece.
