Introducing the stunning **Lily Dew Shawl**, a beautifully crafted crescent-shaped shawl that combines elegance with intricate detailing. This pattern features exquisite **beaded lace** along the bottom edge, offering a touch of sophistication that is sure to impress. With detailed instructions provided for two sizes, this shawl is perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a striking accessory. The lace design incorporates a lovely variation of the traditional **Lily of the Valley lace**, adding a classic charm to your handmade garment.

**Finished Size:** The shawl is available in two sizes: **Small** (16” depth, 50” wingspan) and **Large** (16” depth, 76” wingspan). This versatility allows you to choose the perfect fit for any occasion, whether it be a cozy evening at home or a sophisticated night out.

**Yarn:** For the best results, use **Duck Duck Wool 80/20 Merino Silk Fingering yarn** (80% Superwash Merino wool/20% Silk), which provides 600 yards per 150 grams. Alternatively, feel free to use any high-quality **fingering weight yarn** that you prefer. Our samples were knit using **320 yards** of the Tag color (green) and **580 yards** of the Hero color (blue), showcasing how different shades can create varied effects in this stunning shawl.

**Needles:** You will need a 32” circular needle in size **US 4 (3.5mm)**, or the size necessary to achieve your desired gauge. Ensure you have the right tools on hand to bring this elegant design to life.

**Gauge:** The gauge for this project is **20 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches** in wet-blocked stockinette stitch. While achieving this gauge is not critical for the project, it will influence the final size, total yardage used, and overall drape of your shawl.

**Beads:** Each lace repeat requires **24 6/0 beads**, allowing for intricate embellishment throughout the design. The **Small shawl** incorporates **16 repeats**, while the **Large shawl** features **25 repeats**. The pattern includes straightforward instructions on how to add beads using a tiny crochet hook, eliminating the need for pre-stringing. For beading, a **size 12/1.00mm hook** is recommended, making the process simple and enjoyable.
