Where do I get the beautiful yarn that you used for the aprilis shawl?
I bought mine in my Polish local shop with yarns but you can try here http://www.scheepjes.com/en/shops/
Beautiful shawl! Love the pattern repeat and the colorway you chose is dreamy! Thanks for posting this pattern.
Thank you!
Very nice and easy pattern and you selected a very soothing colorway. Mine is on the way.
Pattern is for Shawl but picture shows as a poncho. For Poncho do you mak 2 shawls and sew together. If so how much to sew for head opening
It’s a shawl, no poncho.
Hello. Do you have a tutorial for this shawl?
Hi! No, it’s just a written instruction here on the blog.
I would very much like a tutorial. The instructions are not really clear. Please assist me.
What exaclty is unclear?
Row #2 is not clear to me.. what does “..in the 4th of the 5th” mean? Thank you!
Row 1 starts with ch5 and in row 2 the last stitches (dc, ch1, dc) you should work in the 4th chain of those ch5 from previous row.
Do you have any pictures of what it looks like along the way? I love the way it’s looking so far but I want to make sure it’s right.
No, just pictures of finished shawl. Feel free to send me some photos if assistance needed.
I really hate doing sc, it is hard on my fingers, could i substitute with hdc instead?
You can try.
