[@janetbrown1857]

I like the way you move right along. As an experienced crocheter I find it frustrating when teachers show every little thing.

[@Donna61111]

I am so glad I found your channel. I am so happy to find this pretty crochet shawl. I am Making this for my Mom, Thanks!

[@ChristaCoDesign]

You are so welcome! What a lovely gift!

Love this pattern. Your videos made it so clear and easy to follow. I’m using Big Twist Shine in the color Merlot and it’s working up so beautifully. The alternate Standing stitch is a game changer and really makes the edges look so much better. 😊

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Yay, so glad you're enjoying it! Thank you :)

[@roseydiva1183]

Just completed this shawl! Love the pattern! I completed mine in Premier Azure and I Love This Yarn Surf's Up which is a complimentary variegated yarn. I alternated each every 5 rows and absolutely love it! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChristaCoDesign]

That sound beautiful! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@foggyrange]

Good instructions. Just learning 2 years into it. Amazing pattern.

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@catherinerivas3134]

I really like the stranding double crochet you start row with

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Thanks, me too. It's one of my favorite techniques.

[@Sophiecjp]

Love this! I love textured shawls. So talented. I love that it changes so it is not the same row repeat. This is going to be my next project. Getting my hooks out and starting now. Thank you so much! ♥️ I start each row with a chn2, then put a doubled crochet in the same beginning stitch and end with a DC2TOG on the end. It is a trick I learned to keep my sides straight. May want to try it some time😉

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I'll have to try that trick for straight sides.

Row 5, chain 3 after turning? It looked like it was the magic double- crochet???

[@ChristaCoDesign]

I'm not sure what the magic double crochet is, but I do use a chain 3 alternative (which likely has lots of names) like this christacodesign.com/get-rid-of-the-gaps-the-best-ch-3-alternative/

[@patriciamontocchio126]

Very nice thanks so much

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@ravindrasingh477]

You are very good

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Thank you!

[@sistadebra1425]

Beautiful! Going to make this. How much yarn did you use please?

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Hi, thank you! I used about 1308 yd of #4 medium worsted weight yarn for this one.

[@janellperez447]

I like your video I was wondering does it matter what type of yarn I use?? Thanks

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Thank you! You can use any brand and/or fiber yarn (acrylic, cotton, etc) you like, but you want to choose the same weight category which is a #4 medium worsted weight yarn. It's best to make a gauge swatch both to meet gauge and to see how your chosen yarn works up. I hope this helps!

[@WaleejaFarhan]

How many chains have you made for the first row

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Start with a chain of 205.

[@Ezgiboo]

This is beautiful and I have a ball of cashmere yarn I’d like to use to make this but I’d like work it up from the short side. What is the multiple for the starting chain?

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Your yarn sounds lovely! The stitch multiple is 4, plus 1.

[@Ezgiboo]

@@ChristaCoDesign thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️

[@sharontenteclarke]

Can you use any kind of Worsted Yarn? I am asking because I have so much yarn already bought. Sharon

[@ChristaCoDesign]

Yes of course, use any worsted weight. For the best results be sure to check gauge using your chosen yarn.

[@christinegalindo3654]
