Titania's Inferno

Introducing the exquisite Faerie Fire Shawl, a stunning full-sized circular Pi shawl designed for intermediate to advanced knitters. This captivating project features a harmonious blend of four unique lace patterns that radiate gracefully outward, culminating in an intricate lace border. The name of the pattern, Faerie Fire, is inspired by the enchanting lace stitches incorporated into its design, particularly the fourth pattern that evokes the beauty of flames. With its elaborate shapes, this shawl is truly fit for the Queen of the Faeries, adding a touch of magic to any knitting collection.

The Faerie Fire Shawl requires approximately 1150 yards of high-quality lace weight yarn. For optimum results, we recommend using a wool yarn or a blend that includes a significant proportion of wool, as this material blocks beautifully and showcases the delicate lacework to perfection. When finished and aggressively blocked, the shawl boasts an impressive diameter of around 46 inches, making it a striking accessory for any occasion. While precise tension and gauge are not critical for this project, to achieve the desired pattern size, one repeat of the first chart should measure approximately 1.5 inches (or 4 cm) high and wide.

This pattern is available in charted form only, providing a visual guide for the lace sections without written instructions. As such, successful completion of the shawl requires proficiency in several skills. You should be comfortable with performing a circular cast-on (tutorials can be found through provided links), interpreting charted instructions, executing yarn-overs, and carrying out both single and double decreases.

Embark on this enchanting knitting journey and create a breathtaking Faerie Fire Shawl that will enchant those who see it and provide warmth and elegance for years to come. Whether you're looking to enhance your knitting skills or gift a beautiful handmade shawl, this pattern is a perfect choice that captures the essence of lace knitting at its finest.
