The second design for 2023’s N Club is Beauteous! Boy, oh boy, she’s Bootyfull - a real beaut! In secret I call her Beauteous Maximus !

Beauteous plays with two contrasting yarns from two fabulous dyers, Emma’s Yarn and PassionKnits. They contrast both in weight and color… ‘cause I like to play around!

2023’s N Club is SOLD OUT… and this pattern is exclusive to club members for one year. I invite you to sign up for my mailing list (see below!) and you’ll hear about future clubs and when this pattern releases!

If you ask me, Beauteous is the perfect combination of complicated and chill knitting! It starts off strong with a beaded double sided lace panel. The beads are incorporated into wrapped stitches that emulate the center of a flower. I found a version of this stitch in a Japanese Stitch dictionary, altered it to suit, and added beads, ‘cause that’s how I do! Wings are then worked off this center panel and then stitches are picked up along the body of the shawl from wing tip to wing tip, and a bottom border is worked downwards starting with garter stitch and ending with a version of that lace stitch you started with.
