I ...I love this pattern - thank you for sharing it! I left a comment earlier in the thread about using it to make my wedding wrap in 2015 (using Caron Simply Soft Party in Silver Sparkle). A few months ago when I was looking for wrap/shawl patterns, I came back to this one because it's exactly as the name says - Sweet & Simple. It's also proved to be very versatile. As for how much yarn it takes, I don't measure by yards, I go by ounces; from my experiments, this takes at least 20 ounces for an adult size wrap. Three 7 ounce skeins, four 5 ounce skeins, seven 3 ounce skeins, etc. Looks great with solid colors and variegated. I plan to donate the finished wraps to charity and give them to friends. Thanks again! <br /><br />Tina CoughlinUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231330090951087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37028268.post-34805967101173762642017-03-27T15:50:13.120-05:002017-03-27T15:50:13.120-05:00Thank you!Thank you!StormyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14823555118208840140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37028268.post-2582801040927858012017-02-12T11:22:07.735-06:002017-02-12T11:22:07.735-06:00Patons Astra is a 50g ball, I used 350g = 7ballsPatons Astra is a 50g ball, I used 350g = 7ballsBizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714458845370035962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37028268.post-2018351200658105602017-02-12T10:48:41.690-06:002017-02-12T10:48:41.690-06:00I am curious as to how many skeins you used so I h...I am curious as to how many skeins you used so I have an idea how much yarn I need to dig for.

And for...Bizzy, Thank you for adding the pictorial. And for answering all the questions above. It finally clicked. Looks like a 1lb. skein or 2 7ozs would do fine to make one my size. For those with confusion about hook size, why don't you tell them to make the chain as long as they want the shall to be? Then it doesn't matter what size hook or yarn they use. <br />The only question i had left, was why the pattern is worked in sets of four and the beginning row in sets of 3. Is that because you tent to make very loose chains? Because sc, ch 3 skip 2, sc is a 3 set... and sc, ch3, skip over a ch1, sc and ch1, is a set of 4. Since I tend to chain tight, I am thinking I would be making a reduced length for the upper or neck side of the shawl. Is this intentional?<br />I also think making this shorter and with a big soft bulky yarn, it would make a dynamite baby blanket!<br />Thanks for sharing this with us!!!Chrystalkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946925883822831015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37028268.post-72082717307186787492015-04-16T09:22:32.751-05:002015-04-16T09:22:32.751-05:00This is perfect for the wrap I'm making to wea...This is perfect for the wrap I'm making to wear for my wedding!

I a...Hello Biz, thank you for your lovely pattern. I am a beginner and I used your pattern for my very first project; all your in depth explanations were wonderful and so essential for me to understand the pattern. I used a 4mm hook but the shawl turned out smaller than the size stated, approx 18"W x 43"L using 400g of yarn. I now want to crochet another shawl using a 4.5mm hook and I have a question: I have just chained 91 and it measures 21" wide laying flat but if I stretch it out, it measures 24" wide. Is it meant to measure 24" wide laying flat because if so my tension must be too tight? Do you agree?<br />Kind regards<br />Ingrid Dpetal4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888930976757977463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37028268.post-18230521344583811222013-06-11T18:15:59.488-05:002013-06-11T18:15:59.488-05:00This is a BEAUTIFUL pattern!

I have been searching all over the internet & finally this came up in my email. I just learned how to crochet a year ago this last Febuary so have been crocheting my hands away with 13 afghans/blankets in sizes 4x6 to 6x6 & I am struggling to get this last one done. I now have something really fun to look forward to, thanks to you. I am wondering what type of edging you think would look nice on here, as this is a gift for a very special woman I met years ago who has fallen ill.<br />Thank You so much for your time & help.
