I love this pattern. I have completed it twice now and, both times, I have loved how it came out. I have used 2 different bulky weight yarns and both have come out nicely. The homespun version is slightly larger than the tweed stripes version but I think it’s just the difference in the texture of the 2 different yarns. The pattern is easy to follow and very easy to complete. I highly recommend this as a first knitted shawl project for anyone looking to knit their first shawl.
