The design is completed with a simple yet charming crochet edging, making it a satisfying knit that is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. Crafted using only one skein of fingering weight (4ply) yarn, this pattern is not only beautiful but also economical.
Notions Required: You will need approximately 80 size 6.0 glass or metallic beads, which will weigh around 15 grams. These beads will bring a touch of sparkle to your shawlette, making it truly special and unique.
Size Information: The finished size of the Castle of Dreams shawlette measures 73” (185cm) wide and 24” (60cm) deep at the centre of the shawl. If you're looking to adjust the size, the pattern includes easy-to-follow instructions for resizing the shawlette.

Tools Required: To create your stunning shawlette, you will need 4mm (US 6) straight needles or circular needles that are at least 60cm (24”) in length, as well as a stitch marker to keep track of your progress. Additionally, a 0.75mm crochet bead hook will be essential for incorporating those beautiful beads, along with a 3mm (US 2.5) crochet hook (or a similar size) for the crochet edging.
