‘Gratitude, a shawl’. A lovely lace opening to glistening droplets. If you enjoy a challenge, if you are un-wavered by the exotic p2togtbl and beads, then this is a shawl for you!
It is a semi-circle lace weight shawl knit on 3.5mm or 3.75mm needles, incorporating Haapsula inspired motif. I recommend a solid, gentle tonal, or ombre yarn, aprox. 800 yds, remember this is an approximation and depends on your knitting style. You can choose to bead or not to bead, and where to bead (~800-900 6/0 or 8/0 beads).

in lace weight finished size: 64cm x 137cm (25” x 54”)
my loose and easy breezy covergirl knitting style, see gauge above, gives a finished size of 82cm x 170cm.
