This pattern is also available as part of My Heart collection - Book 1: an Eco-friendly e-book with 5 patterns (Maria, Nimbo, Pena, Luz and Flor).

Maria is a triangular shawlette worked from the center back downwards to the edging. The simplicity of the lace stitch combined with the rich texture of the nupps create an attractive and unique effect.
You may replace the nupps by beads if you wish or simply ignore them for the main body of the shawl and add them just in the last two repeats or so.

Size is easily customizable by repeating the Lace st Pattern as many times as you like. Be aware that by adding/subtracting rows you’ll use more or less yarn. Maria as pictured used 382.2 m (418 yards) total.
