A crescent shaped shawl with a garter stitch ground, based on a bead pattern and a Vandyke
lace edging. Because of the garter stitch ground and the nature of the lace pattern the shawl
has no right or wrong side.

3.5 mm needles
1 skein 2 ply lace weight. (Skein Vintage Lace in Pastel Sky used here - now sadly
discontinued).

side increase the piece by 6 stitches every 2 rows. You will have worked 23 rows in total and
have 5 complete 'beads' up the centre of the piece.
Knit 4 rows, maintaining the increases at either end.

centre.
Bead Motif Border section:
Using chart 2, work the 12 rows. The bead motif is worked 25 times in total.

Continuing on from the end of the previous row, turn and loosely cast on 17 stitches. Work chart
2, noting that with the final stitch on each pattern row, k2tog tbl, knit one lace stitch and one
border stitch together. Repeat chart 2 from row 6 to the end 14 times. Work chart 2 once more
casting off loosely on the row after the final k2tog tbl. There are 16 points to the lace in total.
