Dive into a galaxy of shimmering elegance with Drops of Jupiter, a meticulously crafted shawl pattern that radiates joy with every bead. This celestial masterpiece marries the comforting embrace of stockinette stitch with delicate lace and intricate beadwork, resulting in a garment that’s as cosy as it is captivating. Whether you’re snuggled up by the fire or strolling under the starlit sky, this shawl promises to wrap you in warmth and sparkle, inviting you to dance through the cosmos with every stitch. Embrace celestial chic and add a touch of celestial magic to your wardrobe with Drops of Jupiter.

This shawl pattern is worked flat and includes written directions as well as a chart for the lace motif. You’ll start with a soothing stockinette section before delving into the intricate lace motif, which includes the option to incorporate beads for added flair. Beads are optional, so you can exclude them if they don’t suit your style.
