Halfmoon Shawl

:cheer That is one beautiful shawl! I love the color too. Great work on it. :cheer

Really pretty! I started this pattern last week, and made the mistake of using a thicker yarn. It was not as drapey, so I had to frog it! What size hook did you use?

 

Since this yarn is so tiny, I compensated for the gauge by using a really big hook - about a J, I think it was. Maybe an I.... I forgot.

Very pretty!

It is a wonderful shawl!

[Buttercup]

beautiful job

This came out simply gorgeous! I actually bought the Romance yarn (unbelievable sale!) last year with the intention of making that shawl. Based on where it appears on my to-do list, I hope to have it done by this fall. Thanks for sharing because I can appreciate the detail even more in your pics.

i made this shawl in a similar color. i used woolease chunky, so it came out much bigger. i love how it came out. it is soft and warm and cuddly. and i love how it wraps. pics below.

This is a gorgeous shawl! Was it difficult to do? I'd like to make one for myself before my honeymoon.

[Mermaiden]

Nope, it was very easy, and quite fast too actually!

 

There are now THREE halfmoon shawl patterns on the Lion Brand website - I'm not sure why, but

 

Half Moon Shawl which is now $ 3.95, is the one I used,

 

Half-Moon Shawl is free and I can't tell much difference in it (from the one of these that Crochet Smooches made), and the one I made, except the yarn and the drape,

 

and now there is also a One-ball Half-moon Shawl

 

I guess I'll have to make the other TWO free ones sometime to compare

[Hooked]

Looks like the second one is the kit. The last one is made with a different yarn and it looks like a big collar!

[Mermaiden]

Hmm, nope not a kit, just yet another pattern, it's below there. All 3 of them are pictured with the edge around the neck turned down so it could kinda look like a collar if you drape it right. On mine I did not choose to scallop-edge the flat "middle of the moon" edge, though. I never really thought of that

[CROCHETY]

The one-ball Half Moon Shawl doesn't have the bobbles like the one using two balls that is $3.95 on the Lion Brand site. Otherwise, I think it is essentially the same pattern.

[Mermaiden]

Ahhhh thanks, I had not noticed that difference in the patterns! I still think they're silly for having so many that are nearly identical, but that explains a bit at least.
