Spring Equinox Shawl

This stunning shawl was originally released as a **Mystery Knit-along** on Ravelry, where you'll discover a delightful array of pictures showcasing the diverse versions knitted by fellow crafters during this engaging challenge. Perfect for **knitters with some experience in lace**, this pattern includes optional beading, allowing you to add that extra touch of sparkle to your creation. The shawl is adjustable in size and is specifically designed to be knitted on a circular needle with a single **100g skein of lace weight** or **4-ply/sock yarn**. If you're interested in a personalized touch, feel free to contact me for a custom-dyed skein of yarn tailored just for this project!

This intricate design offers a wealth of options for customization. Each section of the pattern features slight variations, enabling you to mix and match the charts to create a unique look. If you prefer a more straightforward approach, you can easily work the first section in **stocking stitch** instead. For the edging, you’ll find two distinct versions: one is a bit shorter, ideal for those who might be concerned about running out of yarn towards the end of their project! Additionally, you have the flexibility to incorporate beading throughout the shawl—a few beads for subtle elegance or a multitude for a dramatic effect. In my own version, which is a **4-ply allover beaded** creation, I used over 1,000 beads, as showcased in the first picture!

This versatile pattern is thoughtfully crafted to cater to both preferences, whether you are a fan of charts or prefer the clarity of written instructions. The pattern is provided in both charted and fully written formats, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels. Dive into this beautiful knitting adventure and create a breathtaking shawl that is a true reflection of your creativity!
