Introducing the Valentina Crescent Shawl - an elegant and stylish accessory that adds a touch of glamour to any outfit. This stunning crescent shawl features delicate beads that enhance its beauty, making it the perfect piece to wear over an evening dress or to keep warm around your neck as a cozy scarf on chilly days. The Valentina shawl is designed to be worked from the top down, utilizing increases on every other row to expertly create the desired graceful crescent shape.
Materials Needed for the Valentina Shawl:
- Schoppel 6 Karat (3ply; 80% Extrafine Wool/20% Silk; 600m/656yds per 100g) x 1 skein. This pattern is showcased in shade: 2152 Landscape.
- 3.75mm (UK 9/US 5) circular needle with an 80cm (32in) length for comfortable knitting.

- 0.75mm (US14) crochet hook for effortlessly adding the beautiful beads to your shawl.
Difficulty Level:
This knitting pattern is categorized as Easy to Intermediate, making it accessible for knitters with a bit of experience while still challenging enough to enhance your skills.
Shawl Size:
- Wingspan: A generous 197cm/77½in, creating an ample wrap that drapes beautifully.
- Depth: 47cm/18½in, providing the perfect width to keep you warm and stylish.
Tension Guidelines:
Achieve 19 sts and 26.5 rows over 10cm/4in in Chart A after blocking for optimal results. While exact tension is not crucial, variations in tension may influence the final dimensions and the amount of yarn required.
For best results, I recommend beginning the Valentina shawl with a Garter Tab, which uses a provisional cast on technique. However, feel free to use a Garter Tab with a regular cast on if that suits your preference.
