Bezaan

Inspired by the legendary Dutch seafarers of bygone eras, this beautiful shawlette features a distinct asymmetrical shape reminiscent of the traditional “bezaan” sail found on boats navigating the scenic Zuiderzee. The waters of the Zuiderzee are known for their unpredictable nature, often transforming into treacherous waves during stormy weather. These waves rise into dark gray ridges that dramatically crash into frothy white surf along the picturesque Dutch shores.

The enchanting textures of these moving waters are meticulously translated into the shawlette's ridged body pattern, culminating in an elegant and simple lace edging and border that adds a delicate touch. With its unique construction and stunning visual appeal, the Bezaan shawlette stands out as a truly exceptional one-skein project, perfect for those looking to showcase their knitting skills.
