how to knit a shawl for a tiny person with a big personality: Take a skein of snuggly yarn in their favourite colours, beads (glitter is hugely important!), lace (very important as well, all princesses need lace), minimal lace for the mother’s piece of mind (less snagging), yarn and pattern that will still look good if they hit the washing machine accidentally. KNIT, and season generously with LOVE

Beads are Matubo size 7, crystal grey rainbow, MB1173, used 23g

Using a thicker yarn than recommended, so aiming at 6-7 repeats of the main body.
