That's WONDERFUL :kiss: so proud of you. I encourage putting your own personal touch to all patterns. You just did a little designing, Great Job !!! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Eva and everyone, I also wanted to mention that I have read that cotton was the fiber used for Jessica's shawl. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Valerie, I was thinking of making another one but using the red heart plush because they have a very nice tan color that would pretty much look almost the same as the originial and it would give me a good excuse to purchase more yarn :love:

I was just wondering, I found a picture of the original shawl and the "flowers" are much bigger. To make it look like that, what would I do? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> would I just make the double treble crochets longer????

please help!!!!

Yes, you would just yo more but make sure to also add a ch for every yo over so that it doesn't end up being lopsided.

How much yarn do you think that I would need to make the shawl. I'm trying to price cotton yarn, and I need to know how much I'm gonna need to buy

Do you know where I can find 100% cotton yarn for a reasonable price????

thanks for you're help.

I used the whole skein of lion brands pound of love yarn, so you will need approx 1 lb . Please try here http://home.earthlink.net/~bonnietriola/ she is a supplier of close out cone yarn.

Hi
I am just learning how to crochet, and wondered how much wool you would need to make the shawl. Thanks.

I was wondering what size kneedle you suggested but saw a post where K size would do but I was also wondering what is the best type of yarn to use. I have started the shawl with Red Heart yarn, 100% acrylic, it is the type I use when making afghans, and a size H needle, but it does seem to be right. Doesn't have that flowing or open look? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> [/LIST]

Use the size K or larger hook.
