Extended Single Crochet Shawl--Pattern Added 3/8/06

[Roli]

I whipped up this shawl for a Canadian friend who is leaving Florida to go home for the summer. I used Lion Jiffy and a plastic P hook. The entire thing is just extended single crochet. The fringe is made using Juffy and a few strands of Patons Grace.

Very nice! It looks really warm for those chilly Canadian evenings. Is it just one big rectangle?

[Roli]

Yes, CD, just one big rectangle. Simple but very warm and lofty, almost like waffle weave.

That is a very pretty shawl! You really do great work!

That is very, very nice!

Roli that is beautiful.

It looks so nice and cozy and I will bet your friend is not liking the idea of having to come back to the Canadian cold. As I sit here looking out of my window at 7:41 AM it is -12C (+5F).

Pardon my ignorance but what is and "extended single crochet" stitch?

That is very nice!!!

That's very pretty. Sometimes "simple" is just as elegant as it can be and that's what you have - simply elegant.

That is a great looking shawl! I love the extended sc stitch! Not as boring to do as sc and it looks great!

 

It goes like so: insert hook in stitch, wrap yarn and draw thru only one loop, wrap one more time and draw through 2 loops.

 

I made a dish towel in esc alternating back and front loops. I like the way it looks so much I plan to do a sweater in that stitch pattern.

Oh wow! I sooooo love how that turned out! I need to make a prayer shawl for a dear friend, and I think it would be lovely if it looked like yours. Would you be be willing to give a few more details on how you made it? Like begining chain count, etc. Thanks in advance!
