Notes

This yarn is perfect for this pattern. The Flowers look so nice with the slightly varied threads of the yarn! It will probably need a second skein, but that’s OK.

I’m using an extra chain at the start of each row and I’m doing an extended dc at the end of each row. I find that with triangular shawls, they are often too deep from side to point and not quite wide enough. I expect making the long edge longer will change the dimensions of the stretch. Fingers crossed!

I haven’t blocked it and I’m still undecided as to whether I will. I think it’s super soft but might look more crisp if I block it even lightly..
