THE DANDELION DISPERSE SHAWL:
*
Let’s be honest, no one of any age can resist blowing fluffy dandelion seeds into the wind, right?
Using my favorite dandelion stitch and playing with the texture of the mohair yarn, this shawl definitely reminds me of those fluffy seeds dancing on the wind. It’s light and airy, easy to wear, and just the right amount of playful with the color/texture/stripe
combination. I’m sure you’ll be ‘hooked’ on dispersing dandelions all over this shawl too.

The pattern requires an INTERMEDIATE knowledge of crochet techniques, & is written in standard US terminology. Worked from end to end (with simple increasing & decreasing), in a triangle shape.
