Free Crochet Pattern: Star Beam Shawl in Whirl - Fine Art & Merino Soft Yarns

Star Beam Shawl

A little over a year ago I designed three shawls all differently shaped (see below for photos). I really love designing shawls and I can tell you that I'm working on number 4, with ideas for two more. But while I'm busy experimenting with different shapes and stitch patterns, I also wanted to revisit the shawl that is my favourite - although it's very hard to say that as I really love all three. Yet the Star Beam Shawl is special to me as I just love the dragon tail shape.

In between designing more shawls, I wanted a relaxing make with a yarn I hadn't worked with before: Scheepjes Whirl - Fine Art in combination with Scheepjes Merino Soft (yarn details below). So I thought I'd write a quick blog post to show you the result and to link to the free pattern and premium PDF pattern in my shops in case you fancy making one for yourself.

Pattern

You can find the free pattern for the Star Beam Shawl in US/UK terms in an earlier blog post here and the DUTCH pattern here.

In my Ravelry and Etsy shops you can purchase a premium PDF version of this pattern (US/UK and DUTCH).
The advantages of the premium PDF are:

Chart
Close-up photos
Clear layout with instructions in bullet-point format
Same graphic design as all of my other PDF patterns
You support my work so that I can continue to publish free patterns and offer discount codes

Thank you!

Yarn details: Whirl - Fine Art & Merino Soft

As I mentioned already, I made my second Star Beam Shawl using a combination of Whirl - Fine Art and Merino Soft. Both are gorgeously soft yarns in a combination of 50% Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Microfibre and 25% Acrylic.

Whirl - Fine Art is a 460m yarn cake that comes in 12 different colourways, just as beautiful as the cotton/acrylic 1000m Whirl yarn cakes you're probably familiar with already. Whirl - Fine Art combines with Merino Soft, another Scheepjes' yarn collection. Below you see a very useful photo that shows which Merino Soft colours combine with Whirl - Fine Art. For my shawl I selected Whirl - Fine Art 661 Rococo and Merino Soft 643 Ansingh.

The first Star Beam Shawl I made was in Scheepjes Our Tribe, a much lighter weight yarn in a combination of 70% Superwash Merino Wool and 30% Polyamide.
