Moulin Rouge

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.” - Martha Graham

This half circle shaped shawl pattern features stripes, knitted lace motif, short rows, a few beads, and the choice of a straight, (double or triple) ruffled, or simple garter lace edge. 100 beads are used on this shawl. I recommend larger distinct beads that will show up well, approx. 3.5mm in size. You may work this shawl in 2 or more colours. Sample was worked with 3 colours of 400yds/365m each, you will need approx. yarn amounts: Triple Ruffle - the full 1200 yds/1100 m Double Ruffle - 1000 yds/920 m No Ruffle - 900 yds/822 m
