Beads glistening like diamonds in the sun. Glistening Diamonds Shawl is an asymmetric triangular shawl consisting of stockinette, cables and lace. Optional beads are placed throughout.

This design has flexibility to adjust the size, beads and yarn colors. You can keep working repeats to use most of your yarn. You can choose to work this shawl with beads all over, only in sections you choose or none at all.

This shawl also has endless color possibilities. While it is designed using two colors, this shawl would be lovely in one tonal color throughout. Or how about two different gradients? You can use almost anything because of the simplicity of the construction and pattern repeats.

Swatch yarn and extra yarn are included in the yarn requirement. Any adjustments to the width and/or length will affect the yarn yardage and bead requirement. Gauge is not critical for this pattern, however, a different gauge will affect the size of your shawl and the amount of yarn used.
