filet cross shawl

Woman's prerogative - I changed my mind and decided to work 3 stripes instead of 5 as I thought I would. The reason for this is because one source that is in need of shawls needs them right quick. I tried the shawl and it worked very well for me so I figure it will do fine for most recipients. I did try to take a picture of myself wearing it in the mirror but it did not come out well. You'll just have to trust me that it fit. heh



The finished size is approx 15" x 65". 

I am writing up the pattern and hope to have it on site soon. I'm really pleased with the way this came out.

I used Vanna's Choice Colonial Blue yarn and an I hook. I used an H hook for the sides. I find this works well for me with double crochet. I think it might be because I use a ch-2 for my turning chain.

Happy crocheting!
