Hunter's Moon

Introducing the Hunter’s Moon shawl, a stunning, versatile accessory that is perfect for knitters who adore intricate designs and beautiful finishing touches. This shawl is skillfully worked from the bottom up using two coordinating yarns, allowing crafters to create a unique and personalized piece. The design includes charming beads incorporated into the border, elevating its elegance, but it also shines beautifully without beads. A distinctive motif featured at the center back adds visual interest and enhances the graceful curve of the shawl's edging. You'll find the cast on to be extensive, yet as you progress, the rows become shorter and shorter, bringing you closer to a gorgeous finished piece!

This pattern includes two fantastic versions of the Hunter's Moon shawl; both suitable for various skill levels. The smaller shawl, worked in fingering weight yarn, requires only 1 skein of Periwinkle Sheep sock yarn, along with 1/2 skein (approximately 200 yards) of Malabrigo sock yarn. For those looking for a larger shawl, the lace weight option calls for 3/4 skein of Juniper Moon Findley (about 550 yards) and 1/2 skein of Cascade Alpaca Lace (around 220 yards). This flexibility allows you to select the version that best suits your style and occasion!

If you decide to incorporate beads, you will need approximately 400 - 425 size 6/0 beads to achieve that stunning border detail. Whether you are a beginner looking to enhance your skills or an experienced knitter in pursuit of a new challenge, the Hunter’s Moon shawl is sure to be a delightful addition to your collection.
