[@vp122]

This is beautiful, this will make a great mother-in-law gift.

[@dorishuddleston8818]

I like this and looks very easy. Thanks, of course I have been crocheting for right at 70 years.

[@docgregg2]

Hi Mikey. You are certainly the best instructor that I have had the pleasure of working with. I love your pace ad exellent videos. Thank you. I look forward to upcoming videos.

[@donnaroach73]

I made this for a friend. What a lovely pattern and so easy to do. Thank you so much!

[@lolitawhite2174]

Thank you for taking the time to make these video and offering them free of charge . You and your team are awesome keep up the great work. Love seeing your take on tackling a pattern.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

THanks we try... I believe education should be free when possible. :D

[@carmelasamanc1731]

Love the shawl! So much fun to make! Came out beautiful.

[@gingerkelly5146]

Love love love thus! Thank you Mikey and Jeanne! Sooo happy!!! Happy dance 💃🏻

[@ewafothergill4133]

Dear Laura I just croched twice into the first and last stitch of each row to increase. I ignored all other increases and just patterned to get the raised effect. As I said it used a lot more yarn , I just carried on till it fitted me. It's quite heavy . You could increase one stitch on the end of every other row if you wanted an even slower increase. Just keep trying it on to see how it feels and looks like. Good luck !

[@sherritucker3866]

Thank you for your teachings

[@DQDebra]

Nice shawl! Will be trying this one. Thanks for the video!

[@christinebishop2127]

thank you Mikey and yarnspiration one Christmas gift idea down

[@BonnieRatcliff]

Well I thought I would not try the Caron Cakes but after watching this and how easy it is to make such a beautiful piece I'm going to invest in some Caron Cakes and make this one. Thanks Jeanne and Mikey!!

[@debbielee5156]

I used Caron Cakes in a blanket and it was awesome.

[@patresaphelps847]

I've made 3, and they are lovely.

[@debbielee5156]

Did you have any problem with the pattern?

[@nightowl4137]

I personally like your miniature samples, I make samples of all my projects when I can. Samples save me yarn when I dislike a pattern and decide not to make it.

[@markippie]

Thank for this great patern.

[@manonmartin4231]

Trying to do this now ! Wish me luck !

[@emmachallis4592]

I love your videos Mikey, you brighten my day xxx

[@se4048]

I really like the way u explain things but I wish u would do a whole crochet-a-long project. When it's just a small sample or short video it's harder to envision.

[@yvonnesiber9803]

It's beautiful!

[@theresayingling2327]

I Love this pattern

[@amymoak9182]

So beautiful !! Thank you so much for another wonderful tutorial :)

[@TheCaddygirl]

Hello Mikey, thank you for the fantastic video to learn how to make this shawl. I was trying but something went wrong in the middle.. Do i have to make 1 chain before i make 1 dc in the first open centre space? I tried 1 chain before the first dc in the first open space of the center, 1 dc in the middle of the two open spaces, 1 chain, 1 dc in the second open space in the middle and then again 1 chain to go further again? Greetings from Holland

[@carolynruben7232]

Trying not going to give up😊

[@ewafothergill4133]

I actually made this, it took 4 balls of the yarn otherwise it would have been too short. I had to slow down the rate of increase , it was becoming too long and thin. It looks nice but definitely for cold weather ,as heavy as a winter coat . Thanks for the idea.

[@lauramejia2944]

Ewa Fothergill can you help telling me how did you stop increases it is too long on the sides ans to thin

[@الملكةايناسوالاميرةسناء]

bonjour mikey! vous faites toujours de magnifiques tutoriels et tout est très bien expliqué,,,,,continuez toujours and thank you so much,,,,,

[@shilavaitilingon4730]

thank u Mr .Ilike all your tutorial

[@jeannebeverly1244]

LOVE it!

[@alvinalloyd3070]

Just like that love ya

[@NudgingCharlie13]

I love this pattern. It looks like it has a collar. How do you make the collar? I have another question. When you do a row of DCs they are basically going to be all the same height. Then you said do the row with DCs and front post DCs. When you do a front post DC by nature of the stitch you drop down below the top of the row you are working on in order to go around the post. Therefore the top of the double crochet that goes around the front post will be lower then the top of a normal DC. Should the Front Post DC actually be a front post triple or half triple instead? If not the tops of the stitches on that row won't all be even and it will creat a ripple effect. Or is that what it is supposed to do?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

That is what it's supposed to do. It adds to the texture.

[@WinterDragon76]

I love this pattern. I made it 10min in watching the video. I've been very limited crocheting for 10yrs and have made a few blankets and such but I'm still pretty novice. I would classify this as a moderate pattern not an easy but perhaps it's just me. I still have yet to make any clothes beyond a scarf and these instructions over whelmed me. He said in the beginning there are slower tutorials. Idk if this pattern is more complicated than "easy" or if I just need a slower video. I got confused by 8 min in. :-/

[@Latebird24]

I don't like when you do a miniature version of the pattern.

[@11thShadowDragon]

I know EXACTLY what I would do with Caron Cakes now. However, the one in the photo looks like it has a hood.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

The top of the shawl is just folded down as a faux collar effect.

[@11thShadowDragon]

The Crochet Crowd Ok, thank you for clarification! I was really confused xD

[@drawireneM]

Question what is shawl collar n we l what does outermost mean in crochet n towards mid front? This is inn the loch ness cardigan.

[@bethhigdon8304]

Hi I'm having a hard time understanding how u do the neck part of the shawl ( the fold part, im still a newbie so I apologize if this sounds stupid

[@Uniquathomas]

Can you do the collar on the crochet frosted Layer cakes shawl please

[@talaynaekelund1463]

I believe the collar you see in the picture is just the shawl itself folded over and not an actual collar that you stitch.

[@jadirar113]

I have a question, on the picture it looks like it has some sort of collard. Can you please explain. Thanks

[@talaynaekelund1463]

The “collar” is just the shawl folded over a bit.

[@patriciadiomede7608]

is this shawl good for a wheelchair

[@angelashea3792]

Would this wool be too heavy for a summer shawl or a shawl for someone who lives in Mexico?

[@robinshippy]

I need help with this. I'm making this shawl and I think it's wrong. I've used 2 balls and my measurements are 67x 27. It just keeps getting wider. I tried to copy a picture of it but I can't. Please help. I'm making it for a friend for her birthday next week.

[@nanascraftycornerdonna6618]

i love it

[@outreach212]

Not sure how to keep the colors separate, I usually end with a few stitches in the new color but looking at the picture it's clean. HOW?

[@corab6]

when you are doing each double crochet are you only going through the front loop of the stitch?

[@ajam924]

I have a quick question how did you count your rows? I’m really confused on how you count your rows....thanks.

[@missymakesdomeredith8072]

hi, I really like this, I'm in Australia and I havent seen Caron Cakes here, can you tell me how many metres/yards are used for this please so I can substitute as we also don't work on oz. Thanks

[@dburgd99]

The caron cakes I looked at had 383 yds ..350m.. not sure if that helps..

[@missymakesdomeredith8072]

yes, very much helps, thanks

[@marthareisz6740]

How do I add the button? Love this shawl! It if currently my WIP!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I didn't use a button. What you are seeing is a shawl pin. ~ Jeanne

[@marthareisz6740]

The Crochet Crowd thank you!

[@virginiacollins6266]

basically it's not lying flat like a triangle as shown in the sample the starting to wave a bit the counts are still accurate given the fact that I'm way past on the rose on it and I'm just looking for some more advice on it like is it supposed to do that?

[@margaritagarcia8094]

[@pamk.3651]

Margarita Garcia Wha?

[@LyndaThomasflymefree54]

Dang! Not workin for me. I still keep looking for something warm. All these wholes...

[@NudgingCharlie13]

Mikey, this is not a criticism by any means. You do wonderful tutorials. But I believe you made a mistake on the edging where you get to the center point. The pattern says " edging - (WS) Ch 1, sc in first st, sc in sp, *ch 2, sc in next 2 st; repeat * to marked st, sc, ch 2, sc all in marked st, sc in sp, repeat again from * to next corner. Turn to work across top edge. Sc, ch 2, sc in the end st of each row. Sl st to beginning sc. Finish off." Go to the first *. It says sc, ch2, sc all in the marked stitch which would be that center DC. I think you just did a sc in the marked stitch. I apologize if I am wrong. You are awesome, Mikey!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are correct. Mikey misses that part when he was filming. Good catch, but it shouldn't change the final project much either way.

[@RitaMillerLA]

He also did the top edge wrong. It should be (sc, ch2, sc) into the end of each row. He only did (sc, c2) then did the next sc in the next row instead of the same row. Following the pattern will make the top row edging match the side edgings.

[@teresaperez6686]

walmart don t carry that yarn Puerto Rico walmart an I like that yarn..... p.s. nice shawl.

[@jennyochem4567]

What color yarn did she use?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Caron Cakes Faerie

[@ionblastoidsmom]

I would like to make this for my daughter who is extremely overweight. I would consider myself a beginner/intermediate crocheter. I am at a loss as to how to determine how much to increase this pattern. Please help! :)

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It starts are the top. You continue to crochet until you are satisfied with the width. So enough though you are crocheting for a bigger size, this pattern doesn't matter as it starts are the point and goes bigger. Other shawls that start at the bottom and work up are limited on the sizing. This one isn't like that.

[@ionblastoidsmom]

I am still confused....so I just keep going without adding any stitches to the original chain circle? It seems that in my quest to make it wider it would then become too long,,, no?

[@carolinelauzon6540]

You said you can watch in slow motion ? How is tat done ?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Button right hand side of the player window. There's a gear... click it for options. We have an article on that as well on our website.

[@stellasmom4686]

is there a way to add a hood to this ? thank you

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Is the pattern missing that detail? I haven't looked yet.

[@25shala]

Nancy Edenfield did you get a response about adding a hood? I would love to try this with a hood!

[@stellasmom4686]

No I haven't gotten one yet

[@25shala]

Thank, I am looking for a pattern with a hood that is this simple and I thought this was the one but there is a previous response that answered that question.

[@berthaprasifka1357]

You do this miniature.... But how many rows, etc., Are supposed to be there in a full size? I don't inow how to interpret a miniature

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Bertha Prasifka the pattern is linked in the video description so you can get details like that.

[@BECEOO-we1fh]

hi ......l love u r project of making shawl as I m new learner rather is my first project ,can I get whole vdo of this shawl as there is qawler too so plz instead of miniature forward me whole .thanku

[@talaynaekelund1463]

The “collar” is actually just the shawl itself folded over.

[@mjsmom77]

Looks like a J hook 6mm ??

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

The original uses an I hook, but Mikey may have used a J for filming purposes.

[@fabiolatribaldossanchez6613]

donde lo puedo comprar en España?

[@Anssy23]

cant see the pattern

[@tinaturbin67]

How do you know where to place the button? Size of button?

[@kyokor6307]

I know this is a late reply for your comment, but in case you were still curious. My suggestion would be, if it's a surprise, find someone who has similar shoulder width and drape the shawl to determine where you'd like the button and mark it. As for size I would bunny ear tie different ones on and decide based on what you feel fits/work best.

[@glorialindsey6142]

How do you make the collar

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Actually, there is no collar. It's just the way the shawl is folded at the top.

[@christinawilliams8140]

Do you have a pattern for the collar?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's just a triangle. It's just the way it's showing on the mannequin. You can roll the top to make collar when wearing.

[@christinawilliams8140]

Cool! Thank you

[@merlinj9216]

can anyone share me the pattern instructions please? i am a beginner n i feel hard to follow...

[@ajam924]

Merlin J here you go!!! thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-frosted-layer-cake-shawl-pattern/

[@lucygrace9507]

I usually understand your patterns as they're super easy but I'm really struggling with this pattern. The photo looks as though there's straight sides of the shawl (where the shawl meets at the front of the body). But if we're just making a continuous triangle, there wouldn't be straight sides that look like that in the photo. Sorry, I'm really confused.

[@missymakesdomeredith8072]

Lucy Brown, hi, I get what you mean but I think it's an illusion as part of the longer edge of the shawl is folded down to make a fake collar if it's unfolded and laid flat it would be one long straight edge.

[@kadyjabrealey1421]

Blessings Mike how can I write an e mail to you?

[@jackieschwartz3094]

My neckline keeps curving in. It's not in a straight line like yours. 😬

[@angiepisacane1670]

Mine's doing that too!

[@deko2485]

Me too. If I want to have a FPDC just before the middle ch one sp, that's what happens.

[@pavaniasapu8316]

I really don’t get it... it’s too tough to understand in miniature version....

[@aldacarrico8079]

HOW MANY INCREASES SHOULD I HAVE ON EACH ROW CANT SEEM TO COME OUT TO A FP AT THE CENTER MARK HELP PLEASE

[@ajam924]

alda carrico You just have to add one double crochet and then chain 1 and then one double crochet.

[@moonfrau]

My shawl got very wide but not long enough yet. I feel a bit disappointed. Why would someine need a shawl very short at the back

[@manoorak66]

حلو كتييير. بس بدي ترجمة للغة العربية 👌🏻👌🏻bleez

[@ceruliana74]

This shawl shows a collar not just shawl folded in, why was that part not included? Help I'd like to know how to make the collar pls

[@pamk.3651]

Angelina Davila No dollar. it's folded down.

[@andujarmcarmen]

It would have been nice if you could have done at least a couple more times for the sample. It's so tiny you really can't envision anything. You need to slow down for beginners.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm really sorry that I failed you in this experience.

[@andujarmcarmen]

How to Crochet - The Crochet Crowd you didn't fail me. I'm almost done with mine.

[@darchel70]

[@pamk.3651]

Crochet Crowd You didn't fail anyone. it's skill level.

[@missymakesdomeredith8072]

hi, I really like this, I'm in Australia and I havent seen Caron Cakes here, can you tell me how many metres/yards are used for this please so I can substitute as we also don't work on oz. Thanks

[@talaynaekelund1463]

He said it took about 2.5-3.0 Caron Cakes. A Caron Cake has 7.1oz (200g) of yarn in it. So you would need approx. 21.3oz (600g) of yarn to make this shawl. Hope that helps!

[@talaynaekelund1463]

A Caron Cake had approx. 373yards (350m) of yarn in it. So times that by 3 to get how much you would need for the shawl as this pattern uses 2.5-3.0 Caron Cakes,
