ReplyDeleteLove the shawl. I don't think the pattern is written correctly. Only having 2 yo's every other row isn't giving me the same look as yours or am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is correct. Several people have made the shawl following these instructions. I'm not sure what your doing differently.
