You’ll feel special wearing Bejewelled – she’s a great excuse to adorn yourself with your creative knitting instead of necklaces. Using fingering-weight yarn, Bejewelled is a long and slender crescent-shaped shawl that glides around your neck.

Light bounces off the tiny seed beads dripping from each picot point – Bejewelled is the perfect combination of subtle warmth and elegant decoration. Her lace is deceptively simple and knitted at the same time as her shaped garter body.

The pattern includes a clear explanation of making adjustments for a longer or shorter shawl and easily accommodates different skein lengths. It also contains a link to a helpful tutorial demonstrating how to add beads to your Bejewelled shawl.

With written & charted instructions, Bejewelled is perfect for experienced knitters and adventurous beginners looking for a unique, single-skein project.
