Cinnabar Shawl

This stunning beaded crescent shawl knitting pattern is designed for those who love intricate details and unique designs. The shawl is worked from the bottom up, starting with a beaded picot cast-on that adds a touch of elegance. The long colorways of the yarn create a dramatic, eye-catching appearance that is sure to turn heads. Throughout the project, you'll incorporate a total of 1202 6/0 glass beads, specifically Miyuki #4513, which can be easily placed using a size 11/12 or 13/14 steel crochet hook. While the addition of beads is optional, they undoubtedly enhance the visual appeal of this beautiful accessory. The lacework is meticulously charted, making it accessible for knitters familiar with charted patterns. Short rows are used to create the elegant crescent shape of the shawl, which measures an impressive 180cm (71") along the top edge, 218cm (86") along the bottom edge, and 48cm (19") deep at the center. At the outer edges, the shawl reaches a depth of 41cm (16"). This pattern requires most of two skeins of yarn, totaling approximately 777m (850 yds). For a truly striking effect, consider using two different colors to enhance the contrasting elements of your shawl. Whether you're looking for a lovely gift or a personal addition to your wardrobe, this beaded crescent shawl is the perfect knitting project to showcase your skills and creativity.
