A beautiful, beaded shawl inspired by Weldon’s Practical Needlework.

Materials

• Abstract Fiber Vines, 80% merino, 10% cashmere, 10% nylon, laceweight, 660 yd (604 m)/3½ oz (100 g) skein, 2 skeins of Gold, or other heavy laceweight yarn of a similar put-up
• Needles, size 4 (3.5 mm) and size 6 (4.0 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge. Interchangeable circulars are strongly recommended for the large number of stitches and to allow different-size needle tips during transition.
• Stitch markers
• Steel crochet hook, size 10 (1.3 mm) or smaller
• Seed beads, size 6º, topaz silver-lined, approximately 500

Finished measurements: 65” (165.1 cm) wide and
29” (73.7 cm) high at center, after blocking.

Gauge: 22½ sts and 48 rows = 4” (10.2 cm) in garter
stitch using smaller needles, after blocking. Gauge is
not critical for this project, but a different gauge will
likely affect finished size and yardage needed.
