Spellbound
Discover the enchanting allure of Titania, the Faery Queen from Shakespeare’s beloved works, with the breathtaking "Spellbound" shawl pattern. This exquisite shawl beautifully captures the essence of Titania, incorporating themes of mystery, beauty, and woodland elegance. As you embark on your knitting journey, you will create a stunning piece characterized by intricate leafy crowns that gracefully guide the eye toward a sumptuous, decadent beaded border, embellished with dramatic points that truly elevate this design.
Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, "Spellbound" invites you to choose your favorite color palettes and bead selections, allowing you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a creative experience that is uniquely yours. The shawl is specifically designed to be knitted using high-quality yarns, such as Sweet Georgia Merino Silk Lace, Hedgehog Fibres Silk/Merino Lace, or Skein Merino/Silk Lace, with all options providing a luxurious 700m per 100g skein for optimal drape and softness.
For my own creation, I utilized 560m of Sweet Georgia Yarns Silk Merino Lace along with approximately 775 beads. If you opt for the lovely stocking stitch version, be prepared to add an extra 80 beads for an even more enchanting finish. The pattern dimensions, as written, measure 22 inches (56 cm) deep and 83 inches (211 cm) wide; however, this adaptable design allows you to modify the size to suit your personal preferences, although this may increase your yardage and bead requirements.
This versatile pattern is comprehensive, offering both written instructions and fully charted designs, ensuring that bead placement is clearly indicated throughout the process. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just beginning your knitting adventure, the "Spellbound" shawl provides a captivating project that will transport you into a world of faery magic. Dive into the allure of this stunning shawl pattern and let your creativity take flight!
