Lovely shawl but there is a typo to start off in row 1. I was looking at the comments and stubborn as I am, decided to figure it out. The repeat in row I should be 31 times. And then you have to go row by row and repeat it until you get to the final stitches of the row. It should work out. The think I like about this pattern is it is not a triangle shawl. I think I like the "wrap" style better. Will go on my list. Thank you.

What a beautiful shawl. The trim or the edge is really very feminine and frilly and takes the shawls appearance up a notch. No matter what color yarn you select to make this with it will be one of those favorite go to pieces. Pink is my favorite color.

Beautiful pattern. I really wish there were more pictures of the finished shawl. I do not need pictures of how to crochet but I love to be able to see the project before I start. I love the border design.

Not sure if I should be afraid of trying out this pattern. The shawl looks amazing, though. You only need to understand how to make shells and clusters, and those special stitches are explained in the full pattern work up, above. No need to look it up on a YouTube tutorial.

Have you tried this pattern, and did it work out for you? I thought they might have fixed the errors with the pattern since 2014.

Dispite all of the negative reviews on this pattern. I decided to try it. The stitches aren't adding up. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I made it to row 6 picked it up and it was just wrong. I restarted and they just don't add up. Huge disappointment I was wanting to make this for my Grandmother for Christmas and well since no one has been able to receive any help I will have to find another project.
