Very difficult to understand explanations of stitches, instructions. Beautiful shawl, but definitely not easy to understand the directions as written.

I like the color teal used. It also looks so soft and very light to carry around especially when not worn on the shoulder. It looks elegant and sophisticated.

This is a perfect layering accessory for all of your different looks. Red Heart yarns has made it easy to make this stylish piece to add some flair to your wardrobe. I am not too excited about the shade of blue used in the one shown, but there are many colors out on the market to choose from.

This is drop dead gorgeous! I can envision this one with my little black dress so easily. I think I'd do it in a single color to show off the stitches. I can barely believe it's only nine rows. It'll make up so quickly. Since we're in the south this will be just the perfect weight too. I think I'll make one up in Peri color!

Do you not absolutely LOVE this beautiful shawl? The bold crochet pattern is so well suited to a single color and it looks so soft and drapes so beautifully that I can almost feel it around my shoulders lol. In South Africa we are not familiar with Red Heart yarns but I have some bamboo yarn that is possibly going to be perfect for this stunning pattern.

What a great 1-2 week project for over the winter months. You'd probably be hard pressed to find something as pretty as this (at a store) for the price it took you to make it, using the Red Heart Soft yarn. It is an all-time favorite of mine. Teal looks good on everyone! The piece is worked lenght-wise as it only takes 9 rows to work up.

Tried this craft? What did you think?

It's absolutely beautiful! But it's not that easy. It's easy to make mistakes and lose your place and get frustrated. I made this with a worsted weight yarn and it wasn't nearly as long as the pic. I know I didn't use a Red Heart Soft so there would be some difference but there shouldn't have been as much difference as I saw. Very disappointed.

I cannot figure out how to do this shell. Does the shell include the cluster stitch. I can't make any sense out of this.

I agree. Terrible explanations. And definitely not "easy". The directions for the cluster stitch don't even make any sense.
