If you choose to add beads, you will need up to 700 beads (5 tubes) for the Misses size and up to 900 beads (6 tubes) for the Plus size. You can choose all one color or you can mix it up. If you can't pick a color, Silver Lined Crystal is neutral and looks good on everything. Check out more of our 6/0 beads.
To add the beads to your shawl you will need either a dental floss threader (available from your local pharmacy), a small crochet hook, a Beadle Needle or an Elastic Cord Needle.
