A very simple design, perfect for a first attempt at knitting with beads or lace knitting (or both!).
Try knitting with a wool or silk yarn for a different effect, or use a variegated yarn and omit the beads.

I love the versatility of triangular shawls knitted from the top down. They can be made in almost any weight of yarn and in any size. This one is knit in cashmere, making it warm yet lightweight and easy to stow away in a bag until needed. Perfect for the variable weather of a British springtime!
