Desert Dust Shawl

The Desert Dust Shawl showcases the exquisite Beiroa yarn, which is thoughtfully manufactured in Portugal from the wool of the unique Bordaleira Serra da Estrela sheep. This luxurious yarn presents stunning lines of naturally darker color, creating a visually striking piece, while also feeling incredibly soft and velvety to the touch. The construction of the Desert Dust Shawl is delightfully flexible—perfect for knitters who want to personalize their projects. You can utilize virtually any weight of yarn, allowing for variations in size from small accessories to larger statement pieces—just choose what makes you happiest!

This versatile pattern gives you full freedom to select your preferred yarn type and weight, along with your choice of needle size. As you knit the Desert Dust Shawl, you'll notice it begins to take on a graceful crescent shape, which becomes more pronounced after blocking. The piece featured in the front photo of this pattern has been beautifully blocked, and we recommend you do the same with your finished shawl to achieve optimal results.

Skills required for this pattern include knit, purl, yarn over, ssk (slip, slip, knit), wjif (wrap joined in front), ssp (slip, slip, purl), p2tog (purl two together), and k2tog (knit two together). Whether you're a beginner or an advanced knitter, this pattern offers an enjoyable experience while allowing you to create a stunning piece of wearable art. Embrace the creativity and joy of knitting with the Desert Dust Shawl!
