A Shelled Shawl For My Mother In Law

Hello crafters!! It has sure been a busy season of crafting for me. I wanted to make something special for my mother-in-law, so decided to make her a one of a kind shawl. It came out so lovely, I had to share the pattern with you. It is a really easy, 4 row repeat and once you get going so you should be able to make this as big or small as you like with ease. 


I used a J hook and about two skeins of Caron Simply Soft in the color Bone



I have not used testers, I just wrote this as I worked so please let me know if you spot a mistake.

  8. Hi there. I am really enjoying doing your pattern. There is one problem with Row 6. I have copied it and deleted the bit that is unnecessary because the part where you SK DC SK DC doesn't work if you have it in. Hope that makes sense.

  9. The shawl is beautiful, but you pattern is horribly written, it doesn't work up the way you have it written, and really should have been tested before you released it. Free or not, it isn't right. I am a very experienced crocheter, and have re-written your entire pattern to make it work the way it is pictured, which is a big pain in the behind. I commend your attempt, but please, if you can't write a pattern, don;t.

    1. I am so sorry you found it so difficult. I do understand there are some errors but I also understand so many are enjoying the pattern. I am not a pattern writer but when asked to write down what I have done I try my very best and most appreciate the effort. I hope whatever has fouled your mood is better now and you can see that this was done with a good heart and brings joy to others. Enjoy your shawl.

  10. Diane,,, was going through my shawl patterns when I found yours.,,, its a winner. I see good ole Meg has some rather critical remarks along with an announcement that it is now rewritten in an acceptable manner. However, I do not see her version posted. So think I will give it a try along with some revisions sent in by someone who practices courtesy,,,, seems to be an almost lost art these days Thanks again for sharing SMILE

  13. This is such a gorgeous pattern. I came across it earlier last year (2015), and thought I had stored a link, but hadn't. I was so in love with it, that when I decided it would be my first project of the year, I searched for hours (literally) and was determined to find it, as no other shawl caught my eye. I have done about 15 rows, and it was so worthwhile. Glad I spotted the repeat, so that I will be able to make it as large as I need it. THANK YOU so much for sharing such a beautiful design.
