This pattern is awful to follow did anyone actually complete it. The part 2 video did not help at all. I am up to the shaping back neck, then I did the Right front but it didn't look right after I finished that. What 46 sts are they talking about? I made the left front piece (a separate piece, right?) then I had no clue where or how to attach it to somewhere. And the diagram doesn't help nor does the video description. HELP!

Giving this pattern one star is very generous -- it deserves no stars! I thought it was only me! I can't figure out this pattern, either. I had to unravel all of my hard work. Luckily, I will be able to use the yarn for other patterns. Too bad it didn't work out - I was so hoping to make these as gifts.

These instructions do not look easy! After reading all of the comments I guess I will not be attempting this pattern. I have been crocheting since I was 10 years old and although I love the look of this shawl it is just too complicated for an 'easy' pattern.

Easy?? I tried this pattern two years ago and had to lay it aside it was so frustrating. Even my crochet instructor couldn't figure it out. Finally just unraveled everything and forgot about it. This is NOT an easy pattern. Beautiful item though...too bad it won't be in my closet.

I am about ready to tear my hair out. I am an experienced crocheter and I am stumped. Just started what should be the right side only it isn't. This is the worst pattern I have ever tried.

I wish I had read all the comments before I started this. Obviously the problem from the onset 2011 hasn't been resolved. I may try to go on but it sounds as though I wasted my time and money on this.

I love the looks of this shawl. Bought the yarn and now am totally confused by the pattern. I am pretty good at reading patterns and this one has me stumped. Hope to figure it out.

STUPID AND EMBARASSED. There is a diagram, I downloaded it. I think I will make seperate pieces somewhow. However, the back still doesn't make sense to me do to the fact thaat it seems to run into the front. well I have some hope. Thanks !!

I am stuck on the bobble section. The instructions indicate that we are not supposed to make a stitch in the chain one of the bobble, but if you don't you end up curling the piece because you are leaving out so many stitches. I love the look of this pattern, but sure am stuck on this section!

All I did to print the pattern is right click on my mouse, click print and the pattern comes up ready to print. Hope it works for you!

This pattern is lovely. i am about to complete the right side, but need some clarification with regard to the statement i.e. "work as established" used in Right Front Row 2, 4 and 6, what does that mean? i have tried opening the given video link, but it does not open on my computer, if you people know about any other video link of the same pattern do share it with me. thanks.

when you return to row 44 of the back, start at the hemline. (should be 70 sts) then ch 32. Next stitch will be in the last stitch of the left front. This should be working on the wrong side . . . row 45 of the back, and row 9 of the left front.

You can try copy and paste to word, that's how I do it and it is quick and simple. No sitting in front of the computer.

Red Heart has a video about the construction of this shawl, about the confusion of the directions, here's the link: http://redheart.com/learn/videos/aran-toggle-wrap-instructions-part-2 Hope this helps, it's still hard to understand, but I finally got it after thinking about it and looking at the diagram.

I would LOVE to make this pattern but will not start it until this problem is resolved about the confusing directions, so please hurry up, somebody, and post the necessary corrections. Don't make me start knitting!

I agree with parrina 5458193 and murphy268. I am very disappointed with this pattern. I would like to finish it, but I am also stuck on row 45 and the left front. Something seems to be missing. Sure hope someone can HELP!!!!!!!

I have to go along with murphy268. I was on row 45 and I just couldn't figure out how to attach the left front. It's a lovely pattern, I was so sorry that I had to quit because of my frustration with the instructions. Sorry.

8749989 Hi, just downloaded your pattern and as I was looking for wool amount and always clance over pattern first, I noticed that it does not give amount of wool in grams or oz only 6 balls. As I am in England I dont know what your 6 balls entails in weight sorry. Also the 2nd row of the pattern; Fpdc in next st and Bpdc in next st? obviously dc stands for double crochet but what about the Fp and Bp?
fortwobirds 865181 7

a ball is 7 oz. or 198 g and 364 yds. or 333 m. it is best to go with yardage instead of weight

I am in the process of crocheting this beautiful wrap but I am confused. I'm on row 45 and can't figure out how to do this next step. Am I suppose to attach the left front that I just finished and fasten off to the right side some how? Sorry, I just don't get it. Lydia
