“She’s mad, but she’s magic. There’s no lie in her fire.”
― Charles Bukowski
The Phlegethon is the river found in Greek Mythlogy leading to the underworld, also known as the river of fire. It also means “stream of fire” or a “fiery light”. The name for this shawl was inspired by both the colorway name (Fire Dreamer) and the fiery nature found in Dreamer Fibre Muses - their creativity cannot be tamed and their passion for color is unhinged.
This shawl is a top-down triangular asymmetrical shawl, with a border worked on the side at the same time as the body. Because the body is worked in simple garter stitch and the border is a simple eyelet pattern, it is a perfect fit for showing off your own handspun yarn.
The Dreamer Fibre Muse is the muse of self-expression, so let yours shine through the yarn you chose to pair up with this pattern!
This pattern is the sister design to the Icescape Shawl.
Yarns Used: Original BFL by Fully Spun (Fingering; 100% 2-ply BFL; 350 yards; 4 oz). 2 skeins in Fire Dreamer.
Needle: US6 32” (81 cm) needle. A long circular needle is recommended, in order to accommodate the large number of stitches, as the shawl grows.
Yardage: 500 - 550 yards (457 – 503 m).
Gauge: 22 sts and 40 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) (after blocking) in garter stitch. Gauge is not essential to this piece, but varying gauges will affect final measurements and yardage used.
Other Notions: Darning needle, stitch marker.
Final Measurements: A: 65” (165 cm), B: 36” (91.5 cm).
This pattern has been tech edited and test knit to ensure an enjoyable knitting experience.
