Smallest hook size is used to place beads.

You will need 18 5 mm Swarovski crystal bicones if you plan to bead only the tips of the triangle edging on either end, and 72 crystals or seed beads if you plan to bead every picot on both ends of the stole. If using seed beads, size 6/0 will work well.

Yarn used in the pattern was custom dyed by Yummee Yarn, an indie dyer here on Ravelry!
