Paon d'or Shawl Free Knitting Pattern 2020 Edition
I wrote the original version of this design in 2012 with a wool that is no longer available. Here is, 8 years later, a revised and updated version of this design that is dear to my heart!
The drape and the silky look of the Algua Marina is perfect for this design and since the design requires the insertion of beads, I took my time to find the "rough pearl". I fell in love with beads made from amazonite stones, pro-ducing naturally unique beads!
As the look of this shawl reminds me of the tail of a peacock, I named the design “Paon d’or” in french (english translation: Golden peacock), thus playing with words to refer to the name of Pandora which in Greek means "endowed with all Donations". Happy knitting!
- COLOR A – 1 skein (illustrated in Loch)
- COLOR B – 2 skeins (Illustrated in Bonheur d’occasion)
- 1 circular needle of 5.5 mm (US#9) or size needed to obtain guage, cabel of 100 cm or longer.
- Stitch markers.
- Beads (approx 400) and a small piece of "tiger tale" to bead the stitches. *** For a tutorial illustrating how to bead the stitch, visit the following blog article.

Customer Reviews
J’ai découvert votre boutique récemment et je suis emballée du choix et de la qualité de vos produits ainsi que de la disponibilité et de l’accueil de vos employées!
Donc j’ai fait l’acquisition de plusieurs kits de patron et laine et je ferai certainement ce fabuleux châle en dernier question de me remettre les aiguilles en main après un arrêt de plusieurs années.
Merci de continuez à nourrir notre imagination!
Hâte de trouver ma laine pour le faire
Très joli modèle avec des couleurs qui plaisent.
I've wanted to try this pattern for a while and now have the right yarn and beads to try it. It's well laid out and easy to read. I can't wait to cast on! Thank you Biscotte for making it free for a short time for those of us who're newsletter subscribers!
Je viens de le commencer, mais aux couleurs d’origine, car je trouve que celles utilisées pour les remplacer ne lui rendent pas justice. Patron facile à faire jusqu’ici.
