Faethe is a crescent shaped shawl pattern that uses any yarn weight and gives options for different lengths, making it a fun shawl for using stash yarns to get a look that suits you perfectly. Choose your length based on how much yarn you have available, and how you like to wear your shawls. Short length shawls are great for those of small to average height and build, while longer shawls work well for taller women or plus size ladies. Of course, if you like extra warmth and cushiness go for a long bulky weight shawl, and if just a little something over your shoulders is all you need, choose a lace weight short version.

You can save on Faethe by purchasing it along with the Snowden Shawl 2.0. Get both patterns for just $8. No coupon code necessary.
