Crystal Dash Shawl -- PDF Knitting Pattern

Glittering zigzags of lace dash across this asymmetrical shawl, accented with lines of optional seed beads.

This shawl begins with a few stitches and grows to the opposite edge. Its long, narrow shape is created by increasing every row along one edge and decreasing every right side row along the other edge.

Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but using a different yarn weight or needles will affect the size of the finished shawl.

The use of beads for this shawl is optional. Alternatively, to lighten the weight of the shawl and to reduce the number of beads required, consider beading every other zigzag or every third zigzag instead.
