Beauty Queen
Beauty Queen is a half circle-shaped shawl that dances between easy stockinette sections, bold crowns, and delicate mohair lace.
Inspired by the queen herself Miss Emma – This design captures the feeling of being light and graceful in movement - which I think simply describes her! ♥
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
This pattern was designed to carry a mohair yarn along with a fingering yarn through most of the shawl which gives this an extremely light and fluffy appearance. The finished piece is large, yet light, and honestly one of the coziest things I have truly ever knit.
If you have a mohair sensitivity I recommend replacing the mohair with Emma’s Yarn Splendid Singles which will provide a beautiful luster and delicate appearance.
-This is a line by line written pattern with charts for the two easy lace sections

Needles: US 6/3.75mm 32” circular needles and any 7/4.0mm for bind off
Notions: Stitch Marker, T-pins and flexible blocking wires for blocking
Gauge: 16 stitches = 4 inches in Garter Stitch after blocking. Although gauge is not crucial for this project, it will affect the finished size and yarn requirements. A looser gauge will result in the use of more yarn.
Finished size: 29” deep by 67” long
