Introducing my newest, latest, favoritest shawl: Oscillo!

I've always loved the shaping and wearability of Spumante, and when I discovered that I could place beads on the Plasma Stitch from Skywalker I thought a shallow shawl with beaded bottom border would be just the thing! 

The Details: Knit seamless the bottom border contains elongated stitches in a wave pattern. Beads are placed to “fill” in the negative space creating a striking balance. Once the beaded section is complete the body of Oscillo is worked with a stockinette base with strips of elongated stitches and short rows for shaping.

Video tutorials are included to help with new techniques.
Oscillo is September's pattern in Just One More.
