The Moon by Night
Introducing a stunning semi-circular shawl pattern, perfect for knitters who enjoy creating beautiful accessories from the top down. This delightful shawl features intricate beaded rays that beautifully resemble the moon or the sun, adding a touch of elegance to your knitwear collection. The shawl begins with a convenient I-cord cast-on, allowing for a polished edge, and is finished with an I-cord bind-off, ensuring a refined look.
This versatile pattern is available in two sizes: small and large. The small size, comprising 93 rows, is suitable for those seeking a compact yet stylish accessory, while the large size, with 127 rows, offers a more dramatic wrap for those who want something bigger. The small version requires approximately 275 to 380 yards of fingering weight yarn, making it an excellent choice for stash busting as well. For the larger shawl, you will need about 600 to 700 yards of yarn to achieve its full beauty.
The shawl displayed in the images showcases the use of size 6/0 beads, lending a dazzling sparkle to the finished piece. Additionally, the pattern includes instructions for a non-beaded version for those who prefer a simpler look. Beads are easily attached using the crochet hook method, making the process straightforward for even novice knitters.
While the pattern provides a recommended gauge, it is not essential to achieve it precisely. Feel free to select a needle size that achieves your desired fabric tension, allowing for personal creativity in your knitting journey.
