This is a written pattern with photos and graphs.
This pattern is comprised of basic stitches and several special stitches. It uses my very own original stitch combination to produce a unique dragonfly that is specific to Auburncraft Crochet Design.
It has a simple pattern repeat. The main border is slightly more challenging but there are graphs and photographs to help.
Many different yarns could be used for this design, used one cake of Scheepjes Whirl in Salted Caramel Matcha. (click here for Scheepjes Whirl) I had approx 70 metres left over. But please note that two of my testers found they needed more than the one Whirl. They completed the border with either a whirlette or some leftover Whirl from another project. If you work to gauge and keep your tension correct throughout, making the full shawl from one Whirl is achieveable.
My testers used several different colorways and yarns with incredible results (view some of their work below.
