My Pattern Experience: Yes Yes Shawl by Vickie Howell
I had originally made this shawl for one person and then changed my mind and gave it to another at the last minute. I regret not having taken a picture of it, it really works up beautifully!
The pattern is just 13 rows, which means that it works up pretty quickly, and I opted to use a larger hook- I think I used an I or a J rather than the G that the pattern called for. I used Caron Simply Soft yarn, which I frequently use for crochet shawls because sometimes they don't have a very good drape with other similarly weighted yarns but the simply soft just has a gorgeous drape, especially when you go up a hook size or two. My only complaint on the pattern is that it's a little on the smallish side, which means that there isn't much versatility in how many different ways that you can wear it.
Regardless, it's a beautiful shawl and I do have plans to make at least one more... if only for myself!
