Djoser Shawl

Introducing the Djoser Shawl, a stunning crescent-shaped shawl that combines elegance and intricate craftsmanship. This unique design is worked from the bottom up, featuring a beautiful two-color lace and bobble border that transitions into a luxurious Stockinette stitch body crafted using short rows. As I immersed myself in the world of ancient Egypt, watching documentaries about the magnificent pyramids, I drew inspiration from Djoser—the first pharaoh of Egypt to construct a pyramid. The shawl's delicate lace pattern, reminiscent of little pyramids, accompanied by yarn in a captivating blue hue that mirrors the Nile River, made it impossible to resist naming this exquisite piece after him. This pattern includes both written instructions and detailed charts for your convenience.
