Nefertiti

**Title: Nefertiti Shawl Knitting Pattern: A Beautiful Half-Hexagonal Design** **Description:** Discover the elegance of the Nefertiti Shawl, a stunning slightly larger half-hexagonal shawl perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This exquisite design is worked from the neck down and features a wide slip-stitch patterned band at the hem, creating a unique and eye-catching finish. The shawl begins with a garter-tab, ensuring a seamless start, and incorporates yarn-over (y/o) increases in pie-shaped segments using the main color (MC) to create a flowing body that transitions beautifully to the bottom border. To add depth and contrast, the pattern introduces a second contrasting color (CC) that is used to create an intricate slip-stitch/mosaic pattern. The sample for this shawl used less than one full skein of the main color (a vibrant yellow) and just under half a skein of the contrasting color (a rich blue), making it a great project for using up your yarn stash. A tribute to the iconic Queen Nefertiti, known for her extraordinary beauty and influence, this shawl beautifully blends craftsmanship and history. As you knit, you’ll not only be creating a stunning accessory but also engaging with the legacy of Nefertiti, the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaton. Together, they redefined religious practices in ancient Egypt, shifting from multitheistic worship to the reverence of a single god, Aten, the sun god. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to add a stylish piece to your wardrobe, the Nefertiti Shawl is a perfect choice.
