Thank you JoAnn L. and Veronica S. for pointing out an error in the pattern. I was going to make this.
Note to the editors, please publish a correction to the pattern! Thanks.
Row 13 is wrong. There is no ch-1 space from the previous row to crochet into.
Yep it definitely is…
this is a beautiful shawl, want to try it one day, thank you
This is such a nice project. As I look at it I see that it would be perfect for me to make fr my mother who s elderly. She has problems and pain in her right arm. This could help keep that arm warm and help her cradle it in place. The blue color is beautiful in the model photo. I think that buttons and other accessories can change the appearance with colors making this ideal to be done more than once for one person.
Looks cosy and easy to do.
