Belvidere Shawl

If you have a beautiful skein of variegated fingering or sock weight yarn that you couldn't resist, this shawl pattern is perfect for showcasing it! Designed to pair beautifully with a solid or semi-solid yarn, this shawl lets your chosen colors shine through. The pattern features simple and easy-to-memorize sections of plain garter stitch intermingled with slip stitch patterns, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels.

This stunning shawl is styled as a biased, asymmetrical triangle, beginning with just 3 stitches and gradually increasing along one side for a unique shape. The clever design not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a delightful knitting experience.

The pattern is created specifically for fingering weight yarn, using 100 g skeins that range from 400 to 437 yards (approximately 438 to 478 meters). If your yarn has slightly less yardage, no worries! You can easily work fewer repeats in the last section, as long as you reserve enough to complete the bind-off—approximately 9 yards (8.25 meters) should do the trick.

Upon completion and after blocking, the shawl measures an impressive 80 inches (203 cm) from side to side and 21 inches (53.5 cm) from the top to the deepest point. The width at the bind-off edge expands to a generous 40 inches (101.5 cm). This makes it the perfect accessory for any outfit, whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or staying cozy in casual wear.
