Asymmetrical Shawl with Beads

Named after our first beautiful Great Granddaughter “Layla Marie”. Directions include 2 sizes for shawl, but of course it is very easy to make it any size you wish. Design elements include knitting side-to-side, adding beads with steel crochet hook as you knit, and a beaded picot bind off. I have included a helpful link for the Picot beaded bind off. Layla is easy to memorize and I have added stitch counts so you can keep on track with the patterns changes.
