The Be Simple Variations shawl is a beautifully accessible lace project that builds on the ease and charm of the original Be Simple Shawl, offering knitters a light, breezy take on a classic triangular accessory. This asymmetrical shawl is designed with simplicity in mind, making it an excellent project for both beginners looking to dip into lace knitting and seasoned knitters seeking a relaxing, meditative project. Worked primarily in garter stitch with strategically placed yarn-overs every eight rows, the shawl gradually grows in width and length, resulting in a delicate, open fabric with just enough texture to keep things interesting. These gentle lace eyelets give the shawl an airy, graceful feel, perfect for layering in any season. The pattern includes two finishing options—either a clean, plain edge or a more decorative picot bind-off—allowing knitters to tailor the final look to their taste. Versatile in its yarn requirements, the shawl can be knit in everything from light fingering to heavier DK or worsted weights, with the needle size adjusted to maintain the desired drape and flow. Fingering weight yarns produce a delicate, fluttery wrap, while heavier yarns create a cozy and comforting fabric with a bit more heft. Circular needles are highly recommended, as they accommodate the growing number of stitches with ease, making the process more comfortable and efficient. Whether knit in a hand-dyed skein for a one-of-a-kind finish or in a soft solid for timeless wearability, Be Simple Variations is the kind of shawl you’ll return to again and again—for its simplicity, elegance, and endless customizability.
