Beeton Shawl

Discover the enchanting story behind the Beeton Shawl [here][1], and engage in a delightful knitting adventure with this unique pattern!

The Beeton Shawl features a distinctive and innovative construction technique. It begins with a square shape knitted in the round, starting from the center and expanding outward. Once the top side of the square is bound off, you’ll proceed to knit a triangle flat on each of the remaining three sides. This intriguing process starts with the left wing and continues around the remaining live stitches, resulting in a beautifully crafted shawl.

Whether you choose to knit the Beeton Shawl using super bulky yarn or aran (worsted) yarn held double, you're in for a treat! This pattern is perfect for knitters looking for a project that balances complexity and charm.
