Notes

Very beautiful yarn.
This exact put up isn’t in the ravelry database.
495 y / 8 oz. (225 g)
provided gauge: 19 st US 7 4.5 mm

I couldn’t get the 22 st design gauge and didn’t want to use an even smaller needle.
Went with my gauge of 19 st / 4” fabric and US 5 needle because I thought it would shrink, which was needed.
After washing, the stitches actually relaxed and the gauge was 18 st / 4” and the circumference of size S is 42”.
It didn’t shrink the way I thought it would.
It is wider than expected and the neckline is lower as well.
Will give it to another young lady in our family, whom it may fit.

Love the band of lace, a leaf motif, making a wide lower border.

Beads:
used ~ 1,000 6/0 glass seed beads (~ 80 g)
Beaded the yo’s of the lace border as they appeared when working WS.
Beaded the center loop of the cdd stitches.
