New pattern: Ciara Shawl

I would like to introduce Ciara Shawl, a lace shawl worked in a beaded lace pattern of diamonds on a background of Stockinette stitch. It is worked in three sections, creating a shape that drapes nicely over the shoulders. The size is easily adjusted by repeating the diamond lace pattern.  A beaded picot bind off creates a short and delicate fringe.

I have several books on Estonian lace shawls, and have been oogling this diamond lace stitch pattern for awhile.  After designing (and wearing!) my Mariposa Shawl, I have been wanting to create another 3-section shawl.  I combined the two ideas, created a lace border, and BAM here is Ciara.  

Here are all the pattern particulars:

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
34” wide and 17.5” long at the center back after blocking.  Shawl can be made larger by repeating the diamond lace pattern.

Approximate yardage needed: 345 yards

NEEDLES
US #8/5 mm needles
Adjust needle size to get correct gauge.

NOTIONS REQUIRED
tapestry needle to weave in ends
4 stitch markers (plus optional markers for dividing stitch repeats)
321 (about 25 g) size 6/0 seed beads
steel crochet hook size 12 for adding beads
pins for blocking

GAUGE
12 sts and 23 rows = 4” in lace pattern

ability to read a chart 
adding beads with a crochet hook 
provisional cast on
