Bewilderness

Introducing Bewilderness, a stunning crescent-shaped shawl that combines an enticing mix of stripes and lace, designed to captivate knitters and enthusiasts alike. This pattern features an eye-catching cable and slipped stitch motif set against a cozy garter stitch base, making it a delightful project for knitters at any skill level. The shawl is beautifully finished with a unique and elegant lace edging, which can be worked in a series of adaptable modules, allowing for a personalized touch.

Bewilderness is versatile in terms of yarn choice, suited for either two contrasting yarns or a single gradient cake worked from both ends, making it perfect for showcasing your favorite fibers. If you choose to add beading to your shawl, you'll need approximately 400 beads for the sample size, adding an extra layer of sparkle and sophistication.

The size of the Bewilderness shawl is entirely adaptable. You can easily lengthen the cable stripes section to create a more dramatic effect, while the lace section can be crafted to any size you desire, ensuring this piece fits your unique style. This pattern is designed for lightweight fingering weight yarn, with a recommended yardage of approximately 500m to 900m, making it a great option for yarn stash busting or special yarns you've been saving for a perfect project.

The exquisite lace edging is inspired by a stitch pattern by Naomi Parkhurst from Gannet Designs, artfully based on the word "Wilderness," adding a touch of artistry and sophistication to your finished shawl. Whether you prefer to follow the entire project from a detailed written pattern or prefer charts with notes for guidance, Bewilderness accommodates both techniques, ensuring a satisfying knitting experience.
