Notes

What a lovely pattern!
I really enjoyed making this shawl.

How it went:
Took 3 attempts to find gauge/drape to suit, but that’s because I hadn’t used the yarn before.
In the end I used a 6mm hook for opening chains and a 5mm hook for the rest, and it worked out fine.

Well written pattern which is quick and easy to understand.
And with a picture tutorial if required.
Doesn’t have a chart and absolutely doesn’t need one.

Quick and enjoyable to make.
Added the fringe as:
Each tassel used 15 lengths of yarn (finished as 11.5cms (4.5 inches) each one).
6 tassels one end and 7 the other end to fit pattern.

Blocked to ‘flatten out’ the shape.

Yarn:
I haven’t used King Cole Curiosity before and I am pretty impressed. Love the way the colours fade into each other.
I found it easy to use too, but I know it may be hard to get used to if you haven’t used this type of yarn before - just be gentle with it and if you need to frog a section, undo it gently and then it won’t knot wink

Finished and Blocked Size:
Length (minus fringe): 182cms (71.65 inches).
Width: 43cms (17 inches).
Plus fringe:
Each tassel/fringe is 11.5cms (4.5 inches) in length.
