Hello, my darling dewdrop! I have a lacy shawl pattern for you this week that is the perfect accent to your spring and summer wardrobes. I hope you’ll read on to find out more about it!
Terebinthia was designed by Emma Butram. When asked about her design, Emma said, “Growing up, one of my favorite book series was The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. In it he described so many wonderful places and characters that it sparked my imagination to no end. One of the places off the coast of Narnia was an island called Terebinthia.”
“I always liked the name and thought it would be a lovely place to visit. So I created Terebinthia, which is a lightweight, lacy shawl (or scarf) that’s perfect for a boat ride to your favorite destination or just a stroll in the park. The lace pattern is adapted from 50 Fabulous Knitted Lace Stitches by Rita Weiss and is very easy to adjust to make it the right length or width for your taste. You can also add beads to give a little added sparkle to your project.”
Terebinthia is shown here in our Alpaca Silk Lace yarn. This yarn is a heavenly, dreamy yarn! It is warm and soft with a gorgeous drape and a shimmery glow from the silk. 604 yd/552 m each skein.
The shawl can be made with two skeins, and the scarf can be made with one skein. The samples shown here were made in the colors Sommelier and Angel Whisper.
This Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include reading a chart or written instructions, knitting basic lace stitches, and adding beads to your work (optional).
This pattern includes written and charted instructions.
Talk to ya soon.
XOXOXO Chandi
Such a beautiful shawl! I’ve never knitted with beads before but you make it look so easy! What size beads and crochet hook do you use for this?
Hi Deb, thank you for your question. I’m happy to help with that.
For both sample used a 0.9 mm crochet hook to place the beads and beads in either contrasting or complementary color to your yarn.
The large shawl used 880 size 6/0 seed beads, and the scarf used 1,200 beads. Sample beads were purchased at Fire Mountain Gems: Dyna-Mites, silver-lined translucent gold #6, round or Dyna-Mites, transparent rainbow lilac #6, round.
I hope this answers your question.
Have a lovely weekend! – Johanna 💕
Both the Terebinthia and the Vayda are beautiful, but I think I will start with Terebinthia (after I finish Laiken). Love your shawls and yarns!
I have knit with beads before and I think it is time to do it again. This shawl is perfect for an upcoming wedding in Aug. Thank you for advising the size and number of beads you used in response to a question above. I believe I have enough yarn (from you, of course) in my stash to make this shawl. I do love your yarns.
Love this pattern! I might try the scarf version first without beads, and if that turns out OK, go for the shawl with beads. Would using Alpaca Silk fingering work well enough? I haven’t made anything with smaller than DK weight, and not sure about lace weight. I do have some fingering on hand that I need to try working with. I think I need to be comfortable working with fingering before trying lace.
Hi Pam,
we don’t have an Alpaca Silk Fingering base only Lace and DK but I think Fingering weight will be a great alternative to Lace weight if that’s too light or out of your comfort zone.
I’m looking forward to seeing your project once it’s done!
Have a great weekend. – Johanna 🥰
Thanks for the update on the number of beads. The pattern is beautiful.
This will be my first attempt to use beads. Your demonstration is extremely helpful. In the beginning of your video, I questioned what size bead to use. Thank you Johana for answering my only question. Love your yarn. Can’t wait to start🧶❤️🧶❤️
You’re very welcome! 🥰
I love the beautiful pattern. Only problem is I do not knit. Would love to see something similar with beads that can be done in a crochet pattern.
Hopefully, there will be one in the future.
I’ve never knit with beads before but I just watched your video and it looks easy enough. (But we’ll see when I try). I just finished up a knitting project and am excited to start knitting the Terebinthia pattern
