I made this last year out of several skeins of LB Vanna's Choice yarn in a lovely light blue for a childhood friend I found online after a 45 year absence. She was undergoing chemotherapy, and I wanted to give her a "hug". She LOVED the shawl, and it was a joy to make. As usual, Dot's pattern was easy to follow, with clear directions. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a beautiful shawl.

I just finished this shawl, I made it for my mother. It was pretty easy for a beginner like me. Thanks so much.

I've been looking for a shawl/wrap pattern to make for my daughter for the prom. I think I am going with this one. Does anyone know how long it will take to make? Prom is May 7th!

I'd say unless you crochet really really slow you have lots of time! The open patterns with an item like this makes it go pretty quickly!
