The Boux shawl is a very easy beginner shawl pattern with a lovely mesh look which makes it very light and airy for a worsted weight shawl. When i worked this pattern up i will be honest i wasn’t expecting it to be so long but i think because of how the stitches are it made it a lot longer than my other shawl patterns, i mean it’s not a bad thing it was just quite unexpected but i still love how it turned out and even though its a one row repeat which can get boring quite fast i didn’t find this one did to be honest. I managed to work this one up in between homeschooling, my other job and running a house so it was a nice fast easy project on the hook.

I will let you into a little secret… I have designed an asymmetrical shawl in this pattern, it’s currently on the blocking boards which i am so excited to be releasing next Monday for you guys, i know so many of you enjoy the asymmetrical shawls so this was an absolute dream to work so make sure you check back next week my lovelies.

Yarn:

For this shawl pattern i used Cascade 220 which has an AMAZING amount of different shades which i absolutely love when choosing yarn for projects. It is made with 100% highland Peruvian wool and is perfect for shawl projects as it blocks so nicely as it really opens up the stitch definition and that is exactly what you want when blocking a shawl.

This yarn is classed as more of a high end yarn but when you are making a shawl that you want to last for years then you should go for a yarn that will stand the test of time and i really feel this yarn is perfect for that.

• 100 grams
• 219 yards /200 meters

Yarn Substitutions:

You can easily substitute the yarn i used for a more of an affordable yarn or one that is machine washable. Just remember acrylic yarn doesn’t wet block as well as wool but you could always carefully steam block your shawl.
