This shawl is perfect if you like a bit of challange while knitting. You can easily make it shorter or longer, you only have to make less or more repeats of the pattern.
The shawl is knitted in two parts - one is pretty short and the other is much longer, the eyelets are only on one side and it makes the shawl a bit unsymmetrical. At the end, you sew both parts together.

The gauge is not important and you can use any fingering yarn you wish.
