but can anyone point me to a picture as to what the beginning should look like...which I think will help me understand what my end result should be....thanks...

Personally, I do not like HDCs because it is much harder to make them look nice when doing rows and it is hard to decide where the top of them is.

 

The Shawl starts at the bottom of the V and gets wider as you increase 2HDCs on each row.

 

I think it needs to increase quicker or you will end up with a long, narrow shawl.

 

PM me if you would like some more info on how to improve this pattern.

 

Have fun.

Lion brand has a slightly larger picture on their website. I had problems with their tea and sympathy shawl pattern.

I just finished my first shawl and it came out really nice. It's a half granny/shells motif.

This was my 1st shawl. I made it with bulky yarn and a Boye N hook. (Never again - I luv my Bates)

 

I think the dimensions work out cuz the hdc is shorter than the dc. amber is 4 1/2 " tall.
