HELPFUL LINKS AND TUTORIALS

If you prefer to avoid the FDC stitch, you can instead ch 135, skip the 2 chs closest to the hook (does not count as a st), and dc in each rem ch across. The important thing is to have 133 dc in the first row.
To change or customize the size of this shawl, use a stitch multiple of 6, plus 1 for the first row.

Linda French says
Just getting back to crochet and knitting after many years. I LOVE this pattern. I wear a 1X top. What would I do to make it a little larger?
I found you on Made It Myself. You have the best instructional videos on knitting and crocheting. Thank you for what you do!
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you so much, Linda! To make it larger, you can add 6, 12, 18, 24 (any multiple of 6) to the first row! ♥
Linda French says
Perfect! Thank you! I found your tutorial and will watch that too. Yesterday I watched your tutorial on foundation single and double crochet. Loved that too!
Jeanette says
Hi Tamara, I love this shawl and would love to make it but am a little confused by the yarn quantities. It says 720 yards which is a little over 4 skeins if the skein is 179 yards each. Can you please let me know if I need two or three skeins of the main color. Thank you.
Tamara Kelly says
Oh my gosh, well clearly I made a mistake, thank you so much for the heads up! I had the wrong info for the yarn skeins, it has been updated to read: 170 g / 6 oz, 288 meters / 315 yards
