Bethania Shawl

The **Bethania Shawl** is a stunning asymmetrical triangle shawl designed for knitters who enjoy an elegant blend of Garter Stitch and Lace Stitch patterns. This fashionable accessory is beautifully knitted in lace weight yarn, though fingering weight yarn can work well too, allowing for versatility in your project. The shawl is crafted from side to side and finishes off with a delightful Picot bind-off, adding a touch of sophistication to this unique piece.

Size: After blocking, the approximate measurements of the finished shawl are 68.9” (175 cm) wingspan and 25.6” (65 cm) depth. Keep in mind that the final dimensions will vary based on the chosen yarn, needle size you use, your personal gauge, and the number of times you decide to repeat the pattern. This gives you the opportunity to customize your shawl to fit your individual style.

Yarn: You will need between 70 to 80 grams (approximately 600 m) of high-quality Fyberspates Gleem Lace, which consists of 55% wool and 45% silk, providing an exquisite texture. This yarn offers 874 yards (799 meters) per 100 grams, making it an excellent choice for delicate projects. The sample shawl is pictured in the enchanting color Tweed Imps (701).

Needles: For this project, you will need US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needles—either 32” (80 cm) or 40” (100 cm) in length—to comfortably accommodate the stitches as the shawl grows.

Skills Required: This pattern requires experience in lace knitting and the ability to read charts. The pattern instruction is thoughtfully presented in both written format and charts, making it accessible to knitters with varying levels of expertise.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to improve your skills, the Bethania Shawl is a captivating project that results in a beautifully intricate accessory perfect for any season.
