**Belle Nuit Shawl Pattern: Embrace the Magic of a Beautiful Night**
Experience the enchanting beauty of a night sky with our *Belle Nuit* shawl pattern, aptly named for its depiction of a stunning explosion of falling stars. This exquisite shawl is worked from the top down, making it not only a joy to knit but also a striking accessory to elevate any outfit. The centerpiece of this design features a thoughtfully constructed center panel, complemented by meticulous shoulder shaping that ensures a perfect drape and comfort while wearing.
As you knit, indulge in the elegant side lace panels that are exquisitely outlined with a subtle cable or twisted stitch pattern—giving you the option to customize your knitting experience based on your preferred technique. To add a touch of sparkle, you can finish your shawl with an optional delightful beaded picot bind off, making it truly special.
The *Belle Nuit* shawl is designed with versatility in mind; it comes with written and charted lace patterns, allowing both novice and experienced knitters to follow along easily. This pattern includes instructions for two sizes: a delicate scarf and a generous shawl, catering to all preferences and occasions.
When preparing to create your masterpiece, please note that you will need a total of 116 (258) size 6/0 seed beads for the shawl, along with an additional 184 (348) beads if you wish to complete the optional beaded picot bind off.
