Yarn
Lace weight yarn in two different colors. 1800 yards / 1700 m of MC and 250 yards / 230 m of CC

Needles
US size 4 / 3.5mm needles or size needed to obtain gauge.
You will need dpn 6” / 15cm long, set of 5, and circulars from 16” / 40cm – 40” / 100cm long.
Notions
Stitch markers, one that is different to mark the start of the round and about a dozen others or so to mark section repeats if desired.
90, 8/0 glass seed beads and a tool to place them.
Size “B” crochet hook for the edging
GAUGE
The best way to measure your gauge for this project is work rounds 1-24 of the shawl. Block the piece somewhat aggressively so that the lace opens up. Rounds 1-28 should measure about 4.5″ / 11.25 cm in diameter.
Shawl is worked from the center out using a pinhole cast on. There is an option to add the sleeves or have a circular, the directions walk you through how to work both.
