I wish the photos would enlarge and there was a print button for the patterns.
Hi Andrea! I agree, I hope to make this change with our developers soon! I do try to go back and add in larger photos for some of our older patterns and I hope to get to this one soon. There should be a print button on the left hand side of your screen, or you can use the print function in your browser. – Nicola, Editor
I am confused about the edging instructions. It says sc evenly along side as follows:*ch 2, dc in top of last/first st of next row, rep from * to point. This is confusing to me since it sc evenly but then says ch 2 and dc. Could you help me out please. The rest of the pattern went great until I got to the edging. Thanks, Leila
This is beautiful and very unique!
is there a tutorial for this shawl
not sure just how to start the shawl
Thanks for your comment.
To start the shawl, begin with Row 1 – Ch 4, (dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in 4th ch from hook, turn – 4 dc.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment.
