Does Red Heart offer this yarn anymore? I ask because in all my travels around the city, I have not come across this one before. But then again, maybe it is a yarn that I normally do not search for. I am so into wraps this year. Well, in 2017 that is. I see no reason why I should stop now! This is stunningly beautiful over an otherwise plain tunic.

Hi Princess, I just checked RedHeart's site and it looks like Boutique Midnight is discontinued. :( I'm sure a substitute could be easy enough to find! Julia, AFC editor

I just learned how to do a fsc and the instructions in the pattern here are good as well. It looks like a basic shawl. I wish there was a photo though. I think a yarn with a bit of glitter is the best way to go. It brings out the pattern and will look stylish. Thank you. I will just have to wing it without a photo.

Oh I love quick and easy patterns like this one! I also dont have the exact yarn but have some gorgeous midnight blue/deep violet extremely soft yarn (Aran weight) that I think will work like a charm. Does anyone know if it HAS to be a stiffish yarn for the pattern to turn out all right?

is there any way you can video tape how to make this, or post pictures? I don't have the magical yarn but I have sashay that should work well with this pattern. Don't you think? Sue
