Dramatic zigzags of lace and beads frame scalloping lines of cables in this asymmetrical triangular shawl.

The shawl is knit on the bias, beginning with a few stitches and increasing to the opposite edge. The wide border is created first and then a stockinette body is added along the top of the shawl. Extra increases and decreases create a wavy edge along one side.

Instructions are included to adjust the size of the shawl. Please note that changing the size or working at a different gauge will affect the amount of yarn and beads needed.
