The pattern includes detailed instructions for two different sizes, allowing you to choose your preferred size based on different needle sizes and gauges. Additionally, you have the option to select from two distinct types of edging: one embellished with beautiful beads and the other left unadorned for a more minimalist finish. You'll also learn two creative methods for incorporating beads into your knitting, enabling you to customize your shawl to reflect your personal style.

Please note that this pattern is charted only, catering to those who prefer a visual approach to knitting. While Helen's Lace was used for the sample, any lace weight yarn will work beautifully for this elegant design, allowing you to select the perfect fiber for your style and preference.

In addition, there’s no need for crochet hooks if you opt not to edge the shawl, simplifying your crafting process. Immerse yourself in this challenging yet rewarding knitting adventure and create a timeless piece that can be passed down through generations.
