Honeycomb "Bead, Bead" Shawl
This crescent shawl uses a single skein of yarn and is the perfect project for souvenir yarn. DO NOT attempt to use the crochet hook method for this project. It requires that you string on the beads using a beading needle.
This pattern can be quickly memorized and once you get going, will require very little metal focus.
For the best result, choose beads and yarn of contrasting colors.
