This shawl, with its beads, intarsia borders and back panel, and subtle cable pattern, will hug you in a cocoon of cabley
love. You’ll need to pay careful attention to the pattern as you knit, but the result will be an heirloom that will make you
feel like a goddess.
Knitting begins with a narrow strip at the back neck, proceeds to the triangular beaded Gusset, and expands from
there to become a semicircular shawl. When the shawl is at its full length, customizable short rows are added at the sides
to make the shawl as wide as you want.
The inspiration for this design, with its sensually undulating lines, came from organic forms found in nature.

Bead requirements: 705 (740, 775) size 6 seed beads.
