Not-So-Seraphina Shawl

[natalie058]

This is a shawl I made in an attempt to stash bust. I knew that I wanted a bat-wing shawl, and not finding a pattern I really liked, I started the Seraphina, *again!* But, when I got to the pattern rows, I decided to just go ahead and do what I wanted, and this is what I ended up with. I love it, even if it did take me forever. The pictures aren't very good, but I couldn't retake them this morning because my mom's already wearing it to work!! It was done with an H TOTC hook and some cotton chenille.

Count me in on the "wanna knows"....Very nice!

[natalie058]

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!!

 

What I did is so so simple... I follow the Seraphina pattern exactly [no link, in a hurry, sorry!] up until the pattern rows begin. Instead of starting the pattern rows, I just did solid dc all the way across, making shells in the shells she's already established. And I increased, in the ch-1 sp after the beginning V-st, in the ch-1 sp before and after each shell, and in the ch-1 sp before the last V-st. Like I said, *so* simple, and I love the emphasis it puts on the shells... the lines look so nice when someone is wearing the shawl!! I hope I explained it well enough, but if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Very Excellent!!! Any chance we can get you to write it up as an actual full pattern????

[natalie058]

The yarn used is 1450 ypp cotton chenille, color: mint green from Melanie @ Fiber Options. It works up to look and feel very similar to suede.

 

Once I get off work, I can give more thorough directions to anyone who wants them.
