You can work from charts or written instructions. Bead placement is also provided.

Lace or fingering weight yarn with silk, tencel or viscose is recommended.

You decide what size do you want to knit, what part should be wider. Additional chart with options is provided to help with calculations. It will tell you yarn usage ratio on main body/lace. Chart is based on stitch count for every size from 10 to 20 repeats of the main body. Scales needed.
