Karen, That is absolutely gorgeous. :drool:drool I love the colors in the yarn. I need to find some of that yarn so I can make one of these with that type of yarn. I'm going to try making this shawl in a different yarn first though.

I made one already also out of Berroco's Cotton Twist. Here's a back view version of it Sweet Pea Shawl-back

 

I think I will start another one since I already have a different color of the same yarn, so I'm in!

 

Karen - it's gorgeous! Very summery I love it! :clap

Yay! I'm glad you like it. It's a fairly easy design. And if anyone is having problems with some of the stitches, don't forget to check the free video tutorials on my site:

Of course we'll help you!! Just ask away if you have any questions :) I think this is a GREAT project for a beginner, because it's a combination of the different stitches that you need to use, and gives you plenty of opportunity to make them, therefore perfecting them. Let us know if you get stuck!

Sure. Just look at the pattern repeat. I don't have it in front of me but I believe it's a 10 + 2 repeat, meaning every large shell takes up 10 stitches. I don't recall the exact size of each shell (My guess is a couple inches for each one. Mine is packed away in storage from our move. Can anyone verify my guesstimation?) So, let's assume each shell is two inches wide. If you want the shawl to be 2 inches wider, add 10 stitches to your base chain. If you want it to be 4 inches wider, add 20 to your base chain, and so on.

 

Does that make sense?

Love the button for this CAL. I'm just curious as to where we are to put it and how do we do it? I'm not familiar with buttons, so if anyone can teach this old dog a new trick, I'd be deeply appreciative :)
