What are the dimensions of this shawl when completed as instructed?
I kept thinking I was doing something wrong, but I’ve followed the directions (which are not well written) and am ending up with a small diamond-shaped product. If these instructions have been improved, please share. If not, I’ve wasted a lot of time and yarn.
Instructions are not good. Figured out how to make it look like photo, but ran out of yarn well before finishing.
A guage is necessary, even for a shawl. What is perfect for one size will be too small or too large for some. Also, the guage helps determine the amount of yarn needed. Also, where are the replies from the site owner? Not impressed…..
How did you fix the instructions? I have the same problem with the pattern.
Can you explain how you keep repeating Row 2? After doing Row 2, there are no ch1 spaces to tr in.
Is this shawl also what is being used as a scarf on the front cover?
Hi there – yes it is! 🙂
