The Hephaestus Shawl is a stunning piece that showcases intricate lace patterns and elegantly executed front post treble crochets, reminiscent of the grandeur of ancient Greek architecture.

Named after Hephaestus, the Greek god of creativity and craftsmanship, this shawl embodies his artistic spirit through its unique design, which incorporates a four-row repeat that captures the essence of creativity and ingenuity.

Final Measurements: 50” Wingsspan x 24.5” Depth

One of the standout features of the Hephaestus Shawl is its adaptability; the wingspan can be easily customized by adding or subtracting rows to achieve your desired length, ensuring a perfect fit for anyone who wears it.

For this pattern, you will need Lion Brand Mandala Ombre yarn in the colorway Chi, which requires 2 balls to complete. A 5.5 mm crochet hook is recommended to create the delicate lacework.

However, you are welcome to explore your creativity by substituting any yarn you choose, regardless of its weight. If you decide to use a different yarn, simply adjust the hook size and the amount of yarn needed to ensure the best results for your unique creation.
