This is a really frilly shawl. It has been a while since I have seen one with a fringe included such as this one. I have so much blue in my closet now I think I will lean to a different shade. Perhaps the "garden" shawl would look great in a pale peach.

I am not sure what I like most about this pattern but I see there are options for creative license. The directions indicate there are four different flowers. The picture provided does not really allow you to see the flower. You are instructed to make a total of 16 flowers. I am just wondering how it will all play out. There is not pattern placement chart or nothing.

How do I get a picture of the shawl? Instructions are great but it is even better to see the finished product one is trying to accomplish Thank you

The treble stitches are used in making the flowers and not in the main body of the shawl.

Under stitches used it says Treble Crochet, but no where in the pattern do I see a Treble Crochet. Is it supposed to be there? I am wanting to make this for my Mother for Mothers Day and I want to be sure I have the stitches right. Thank You!!

To make flowers (you don't need to use the flowers on this pattern - personally I'm not too in love with them) the best place to go is youtube.com where many talented people will show you how to make some spectacular items. Live dangerously and make the pattern fit your wants! -)

The picture is showing on my page just above these comments on my recently viewed projects. It is also the same as the one where the crafter has submitted their own image (just above again). Hope this helps.

There is no picture of the finished project. It would be nice to see what it is supposed to look like.

I am in process of finishing this pattern. Some close up pictures of the flowers mounted on shawl would be nice. I want to make sure I have made the flowers correctly.
