Which Yarn Gives The Best Results For This Shawl?

What Crochet Techniques Are Used In This Pattern?
This pattern includes a whole range of different crochet stitches, which is why it’s recommended for intermediate and advanced crocheters. Apart from basic techniques, you will use post stitches, puffs, and picots, which add intricate textural detail. Also, to work this pattern, you should know how to read crochet stitch diagrams.

Is Blocking Recommended For The Finished Shawl?
Yes, it is. To bring out the best in this project, don’t forget to block it after you finish it. Put it in lukewarm water for about 15 minutes and then pin it to a blocking mat or piece of cardboard, spreading the fabric out evenly. Wait until it’s fully dry, and your gorgeous creation will be ready to thrill the crowds!
