I've been eyeing this stitch pattern in my copy of
Crochet Every Way Stitch Dictionary for a while now. I decided it was time to make a swatch and plan a project. This was my first swatch. Very good start. So I ripped it out and cast on for a shawl.
That got me to here, five happy little chevrons and the certainty that I would run of yarn well before I got to a suitable shawl length. So I ripped back again.
I cast on for four happy chevrons and I think this will work out so much better.
The piece is about 20" wide and should finish around 64" long.
I'll have to work through the second cake to be sure, though. I've only just started on the second cake. I think I'll have to write this pattern up and add it to Ravelry. It won't be all that original, but it will be mine. I think this really is a beginner pattern. If you can granny, you can make this shawl. I did finish my
Crashing Waves Cowl pattern and it is available on Ravelry.
