I really like the shawl and want to make one.
However, I cannot understand your pattern. In no way does my product look like your shawl. I am having difficulty finding the dc’s around which I am supposed to do a fp-3dc-together. I have the feeling that you’re using the ch-2 spaces as dc’s?
I am by no means bad at crochet. (I have been crocheting for almost 20 years and have done literally 100s of projects)
Thank you for your comment. I’ve reached out the designer to get some insights. As soon I have an update, I’ll post here. Thank you!
Note from designer:
The dc’s around which the fp-3dc-togs are worked are created by the V-stitches of the previous row. Each fp-3dc-tog is a cluster worked around the post of a single dc stitch.
I hope this helps!
Just beautiful!
