The Tangled Garden Shawl
8.90Au
The idea for this shawl sprang from my vision of a wild garden. There is no real rhyme or reason to this piece, it just is!
I was fortunate enough to be able to work in with Anzula Yarns to create this beauty. I used Anzula Luxury Fibers Haiku in the colour Prince. I can highly recommend this yarn as it was a pleasure to work with. You can view their yarns via their webpage (click here).
The stitches are not hard but concentration is needed when working the longer chain sections and counting a must.
Yes, there are beads! The manner in which I add beads is not difficult and achievable by all. Please check out the link here to see how I do this. (click here for how to add beads).
Crochet terminology: Both US and UK.
This is a written pattern with photos and graphs. The main graph is a colour block graph and the border or edging uses a standard symbol graph as well as the written instructions.. I detail how my block graphs work on my webpage (click here for how to use a colour block graph).
This shawl is worked flat and in rows.. The edging is worked after the main body.
