@@OpheliaTalks I haven't decided on one yet but I have quite a few balls of Scheepjes in the color Anywerpen which is a purple. But I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking more of a Navy would suit me better 😄

Have fun! Thank you for watching Pat Dancer ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@dotifer198]

Gorgeous! I have never jumped so fast on a pattern. Just got done with it and it’s perfect. I used a worsted weight tweedy yarn and size N hook so it’s nice and airy yet warm and cozy. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Wonderful! Thank you for watching Dotifer ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@karenh2890]

Just watched the tutorial. I've never made a shawl starting with the longest row and working down! Also, the way you made it symmetrical at the end. And great idea using one of those toggle type buttons! I learn a lot from your tutorials! Thank you!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching Karen H ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@ulli4303]

Thank you for the lovely pattern. Just purchased it on ravelry and layout and art work are really beautiful. Looking forward to starting. Just waiting for yarn ti arrive.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Wonderful! Thanks for buying the pattern. Thank you for watching Ulli ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@michelleeckert2272]

Mine turned out A bit small but could be worn as a v scarf. Thanks for the lovely pattern. Will definitely be making a big shawl soon!

[@BBHubbs]

Really lovely intro, Anja ❤️ I love the flow of this pattern and feel even I could do it. You are an excellent teacher. That little trick of releasing the extra stitches is just perfect and sneaking the other chains down the side is a fun way to finish it off. Anything to avoid sewing unnecessary ends. 😜 As always, thank you for being you and for sharing with us. 😘

20 cm is about 8 inches more or 4 inches on each side.. works wonderful! The first row took the longest but the edge is beautiful-- worth it!

Hi Anja, how nice to hear you in Dutch, it looks good on you. I fell in love with the shawl you were wearing and found your tutorial. Ik ga 'hakend opzetten met halve vasten' proberen.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thank you so much! Good luck, Anja x

[@joleenh9093]

It works out fine to me, the longest two rows ever 😅 crocheting at once. Had to practice a while to get it regular.

[@Bri.Budgets]

I just love this shawl! I’ve already made one for myself, and am currently making another for my mom! Pictures to come in the facebook group 😊 Would LOVE to try and make another for my sister with a hiya hiya hook if I get lucky and win the set! 😁

[@kennethmullen7183]

Hi Anja. I'm entering this video for my chance to win the hiyahiya crochet hooks. Again thank you so much.

[@barbaranesmith1890]

Thank you for the tutorial. I am curious, how many shells do you have on your first shell row?

[@katjawoell]

I really love this shawl!!! Started it a few days ago with super fine merino dk from Rowan... I think it will be very nice. Mine will turn out much bigger than yours ( so it is a little blanket at the end 😉😂). Thank you for this great tutorial 😘😍

[@OpheliaTalks]

Wonderful! Thank you for watching Katja Wöll ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

I love 💕 the Woodbury Castle Shawl and will be crocheting 🧶 it soon with my special yarn 🧶! I hope I win the Hiya Hiya crochet 🧶 hook set Anja! Thank you! Hope I win! 💕🧶

[@amypelc8466]

Hi! I'm a newcomer to your group! I have watched a few of your videos, and I am currently making this shawl!. I had quite a time with the second row, i had to decrease a hooksize from what I chained with! Your videos are very clear and helpful. Very important question: How do you keep cat hair from getting in your crochet???? I also wanted to comment on your dress in this video...historically accurate uneven eyelets!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi Amy, welcome and thank you for joining. Cat hair, well yes, that is a question, I don't do anything specific really, obviously I try and be careful, but I'm not that worried about her hairs. Thank you, I made the dress, I used to be in a reenactment group and I made all my own costumes and my family's too. Thanks for watching, Anja x

[@katievioletthedivadog8662]

How would you best measure this based on someone’s size rather than the length of their arms? I am a very large woman, unfortunately, and I’m concerned that if I only measure my arm lengths, that it might not be long enough to wrap around me. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love the color! I love that you named it after castle.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Adding more length after the f2f measurement will help. but I think you will just have to keep trying it on! Good luck! xxx

[@Pouquiloury]

If you measure the length you require to wear it the way she shows it, you know how long it has to be at the top. You have to test your tension and gauge for the yarn you'll be using to see how many stitches for the pattern you need. It is mentioned how many multiples the pattern requires. Test the yarn and fabric for stretch as well.

[@Sharoncat2008]

need to keep watching, I'm having a bit of difficulty with it. Not sure why. It reminds me of another pattern a long time ago with the chain row and then the shells, but I'm worried I'm putting the 5 Treble Crochets in the wrong places along that next row.

[@OpheliaTalks]

you just place them in the CH3 in between the shells! good luck Sharon!

[@Sharoncat2008]

@@OpheliaTalks I wouldn't give up and watched over again the chain three row and found I was adding an extra chain three, then the next row was easy to see where to go with the shell. I hesitated at the end of each row to make sure I didn't go too far or not far enough and I think I finally got the rotation of the rows down pat. Thanks for your reply. I picked a color close to yours Anja, rust for Fall. I think also my yarn is thicker so it's not as lacy looking, but it will be warm for sure. Have a great weekend. See you on Sunday.

[@pamsauce2903]

I love your Designs and I just found you! I'm so excited. The only question is how many yards of yarn is needed???

[@CarruthersDruthers]

Stylecraft Special DK has 295 meters/322 yards, and Anja uses 4 balls of this yarn.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Almost a Sontag then....could you make the first row longer to be able to tie at the front do you think? Beautiful pattern!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great idea, try it and see how it goes! Anja x

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Thanks! This is in my projects to do box! Lol!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes, absolutely. Thank you for watching vineela gubbala ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@gaiafranz]

hello, can anybody please tell me the multiple we have to count to prepare the foundation chain? (if i want to have enough stitches to make a complete shell at the end) thanks !

[@JB-vd8bi]

09:47. It's a multiple of 8+1

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

What is DK weight yarn 🧶?

If you're in the US, DK is equal to your 3 weight yarn, a light worsted l think you call it, Anja x
