Evoluta is an absolutely beautiful design by Nim Teasdale with oodles of beads (though they are optional). 

It started out as a Mystery KnitAlong which has now been revealed in all its glory.

The Design

Nim writes:

A semicircular lace shawl on the theme of change as a positive necessity, with flowing and evolving layers of lace and just enough texture to be interesting.

The pattern can be worked entirely from written directions, or charts with some notes.

WS rows are mostly purl with a bit of knit, but no lacey business. (I accidentally listed mostly knit initially, so if you bought the pattern on that basis and can’t do stockinette, pm me and I’ll refund it.)

The design has a wedge shaped construction forming a half circle, and the pattern includes instructions for adding extra wedges.

The shawl is designed with one main ending point, and a series of extensions after that point (to avoid potential yarn wastage :).

Nim says that for a smaller shawl, you can skip a 40 row section and jump ahead to the edge.

She suggests for the yarn going with anything from lace to fingering, in a gradient, solid, or gentle semi-solid, and preferably a yarn that will hold a block well. (Wool, tencel, silk, cotton, etc.)

Yardage-wise, Nim writes that In light fingering, If one is making the smaller size (i.e. skipping 40 rows/chart 5) one will need about 540m/590y). This will give you a shawl of about 120 x 60cm (a bit more than 47" x 23")

Beads

Beads are marked on the charts. Bead placement isn’t explicitly included in the written pattern, however there are notes on how to incorporate them if you wish to. (222 beads per wedge +16 beside the border, or 904 for 4 wedges.)
