This lovely shawl is the best of naughty and nice! It’s beaded extensively, which adds great weight to the piece. It’s large enough to really wear and it’s in a sultry magenta color with rich pearly glass beads (Miyuki #421C) in size 6/0 (1935 beads, to be exact!). Cant you just imagine taking a succulent apple from beneath this shawl to offer to Snow White?!

Wear this gorgeous crescent shawl over your holiday finest for an outfit that will dazzle! Gather the compliments as you tell others that you knitted it yourself! This would also make a fabulous gift for any woman.

The lace, top and bottom, is charted on easy to read, large charts with full directions for knitting from them. The rest of the pattern is written. Short rows define the crescent shape - full directions are included (don’t worry, it’s not hard!).

I have chosen a highly contrasting bead type for this shawl; but, it would look great with beads that compliment, rather than contrast also. Have fun with this one!strong text
