        Thank you Ms Osborne! 🙂 I used the same stitch pattern (but worked in even rows) for the green (Color B) sections of this shawl, so you can see how the edges are worked at https://www.mooglyblog.com/garden-lace-shawl/

      This pattern is completely confusing to me. At end of first row it says "(63 dc - skipped 3 chs count as 1st dc of row)" what skipped 3 chs? 1st dc of what row? Why does it say this here? AS for the rest of it with stitch markers in active loops, do not turns, etc., I just find it impossible. Could you make a video demonstrating how this is done? It seems like such a complicated way to make something so seemingly simple in appearance.

        Hi Sherry!
        I'm sorry you're having trouble with the pattern!
        In Row 1 you start with a dc in the 4th ch from the hook, skipping the 3 chains closest to the hook. Those skipped 3 chains count as a double crochet, which I noted there in the stitch count (in the parentheses at the end) so that those who weren't familiar with that standard would know to count those skipped chains when checking their work.
        Working with 2 active loops like this is a lesser known way to make color changes in patterns, but it is one of my favorites for the unique effects you can get, and because it means you don't have to break the yarn! But for this pattern, you can just break the yarn and rejoin it later if you prefer, it just means 8 more ends to weave in later.

      Is the finished measurement 30 x 20? Is it the size of a shawlette. My back is always cold in air conditioned room s so I would us it mostly to cover my back. Should I make it wider? Would you please give on how many chains to start to achieve different sizes. Your help is greatly appreciated.
      Thank you.

        Hi Connie! This particular pattern is a scarf with a shawl shape - not big enough to wear as a shawl. The number of chains will depend on your gauge and the size of shawl you want. I would recommend chaining any multiple of 4 until you have the width you want, and then add one more chain to begin. 🙂

      I love this pattern! I had to go slow at first and get the hang of the row patterns, thereafter I was off ! What a great shawlette or Neck scarf for a quick and easy gift or for yourself. I have a friend's upcoming birthday and I worked this up in two evenings. Easy Peasy! Thank you = )
