Crystal Breeze Shawl

The crescent-shaped Crystal Breeze wraps around your neck with a gently waving lace edge, punctuated with wedges of glittery beads (optional). It’s a perfect light-weight accessory for a breezy summer evening on the town. Crystal Breeze begins with a long cast-on for the bottom edge. The lace triangles are worked before garter stitch short rows shape the body of the shawl into a crescent. The addition of beads is optional but provides a fun sparkle. Changing the yarn weight or the size of the shawl will affect the size and number of beads used. Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but using a different yarn weight or needle size will affect the size of the finished shawl. The instructions are both written and charted. Here's a video on how to add beads to your knitting. +[media title][3] **Size** 62” / 157 cm in length and 11” / 28 cm deep at deepest point **Yarn** 400 yds / 366 m of fingering weight yarn Sample shown in Miss Babs Damask (65% cultivated silk and 35% bleached linen; 420 yds / 380 m per 100 g) in Mahi Mahi **Needles** US Size 3 / 3.25 mm circular needles, at least 40” / 100 cm in length **Gauge** 21 sts and 40 rows per 4” / 10 cm in Garter Stitch after blocking **Notions** Yarn needle, stitch marker Approximately 36 grams of 6/0 seed beads and a 1.00 mm or smaller crochet hook (optional) Thank you to [Chinsocks](/people/Chinsocks), [thisDebknits](/people/thisDebknits), [SMotoExpress](/people/SMotoExpress), [impurfiknit](/people/impurfiknit), [PaintsTheWind](/people/PaintsTheWind), and [cjwray](/people/cjwray) for test knitting!!
