The pattern includes both charts and written directions.

Correct gauge is not essential for this project unless you are working with a limited quantity of yarn. Measurements depend on the yardage used and how strongly you block the whole garment. Depending on the amount of yarn used, you can adjust garment size to your preference.

Measurements
unblocked: approx. 180 cm x 20 cm (71” x 8”)
blocked: approx. 194 cm x 24 cm (76” x 10”)

Beads (optional)
(please note that beads need to be pre-strung; the crochet hook method will not work)
approx. 300 - 350 seed beads, size 6/0 or 5/0 (= 4 or 4.5 mm; this equates to approx. 35 - 40 g)
