It is time for a little bling for an evening out.

The shawlette drapes perfectly over your shoulders and falls into a gentle vee at the front. No need for fasteners, it will stay in place.

This is worked best in a solid or semisolid fingering weight yarn.
I use clear beads for that extra bit of sparkle, it is not heavily beaded, just enough bling to make it special.

Beads: 265 #6 beads. Beads are placed using the crochet hook method. I highly recommend Fleegle Beader available on etsy.com.

The size is just right for a small to medium size woman. If you need the shawl to be larger, add four repeats of the bottom border and proceed as written. In that case you will need more beads and more hank of yarn.
