Morningstar

Introducing the **Morningstar Shawl** - a stunning beaded and lacy, top-down, crescent-shaped shawl perfect for knitters looking to create a beautiful accessory that combines elegance and texture. Designed to be knit with almost any solid or semi-solid heavy-weight lace yarn, this shawl requires approximately 600m/100g of yarn, with the exception of alpaca-based yarns, which may not hold their shape after blocking. For the best results, we recommend using a yarn base that retains its structure, like the original shawl made from Lichtfaden Rei Lace, known for its wonderfully crunchy texture that enhances this design.

Circular Needles: To knit the Morningstar Shawl, you will need a set of circular needles in sizes 3.5mm (US 4), 3.75mm (US 5), 4mm (US 6), and 4.5mm (US 7) or alternative needle sizes to create a fabric that has a pleasing drape. Don't forget to gather your Stitch Markers, a Yarn Needle, and Blocking Pins. Please note that changing the needle size and gauge may result in altered yardage requirements, so choose wisely to achieve your desired outcome!

Beads and Crochet Hook: This intricate pattern incorporates just under 1300 Miyuki, Toho, or Matubo size 6 seed beads, adding a touch of sparkle and sophistication to your shawl. A size 1mm crochet hook (or a crochet hook small enough to fit through the holes of your chosen beads) will be essential for beautifully integrating the beads as you work.

Pattern Format: The Morningstar Shawl pattern is both fully written and charted, with clear bead placement instructions indicated throughout. This comprehensive format ensures that you can enjoy your knitting experience, whether you prefer following written instructions or visual charts. Get ready to embark on a delightful knitting adventure with the Morningstar Shawl, and elevate your wardrobe with this exquisite piece that showcases your skill and creativity!
