This is the third or fourth pattern of yours that I have stitched so far. I love the simplicity of the patterns that yeild such beautiful results !! I can't wait to see what you come up with next =)
Thank you for the pattern – I am trying it now! Though I don't think a skein and a half will be enough… looks like it will be too short…

I'm using bet at baby blanket super chunky I've had to use 4 skeins so far, love this patter
Very pretty. Planning to make it for church; it's always cold in there. My size P hook says 11.5 mm. My 10 mm hook says size N. Which would you suggest?
Never mind, just finished. Turned out lovely. Thanks.
Made this in one evening as a last minute gift. Easy and comes out just like the picture.
Can anyone tell me if this is a washable shawl? If so, how did it wash for you? Did it still hold it's shape and look nice??? Thanks!!!
Hand wash in Woolite. Press out water by rolling in a couple of soft towels. Shape and lay flat to dry.
If you need a gift on short notice, start with a chain 9, make it long & skinny, & call it a fashion scarf! Only took a couple hours.
This shawl is beautiful!
Could this shawl be made in a lighter weight yarn, increasing the stitches to a similar size?
Just finished! It turned out great. Took me a little longer to finish it than anticipated, but I've got several projects going simultaniously. This one was easy to pick up and work a few rows and then set aside. No worries about inturruptions or counting. Fun, easy, and lovely project. Thank you!
