  • Hibiscus Shawl

    Hibiscus Shawl

    Hibiscus was inspired by a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. Featuring an easy star mesh pattern, this shawl is large enough to wrap around you but scrunchy enough for a scarf. And Hibiscus has a hidden surprise – a twist-stitch flower!

    SIZE
    60 inches / 152 cm across the top, 20 inches / 50 cm down the centre back

    Hibiscus shawl

    MATERIALS
    525 yards / 480 m of fingering weight yarn. Shown in Koigu KPPPM, colour P306, 3 skeins.
    US 6 / 4mm circular needles, 24 inches / 60 cm or longer, or size needed to obtain gauge stitch markers if desired tapestry needle

    GAUGE
    20 sts and 36 rows = 4 inches / 10 cm square in stockinette stitch
    Exact gauge is not very important for this project, although a tighter gauge will result in a smaller shawl!

  • milkweed and adobe?

    I hear some people are having trouble opening the Milkweed Shawl pattern with Adobe – what kind of errors are going on? I actually used Adobe suite to create the PDF, and I use Acrobat to open it without any problems.

    And if anyone has any ideas on why there might be a problem, let me know that too!

    Another omission was found in the written instructions in row 94 – a missing yo, CDD, yo at the beginning and end of the row. The latest version of the pattern is available on Ravelry and is called “MilkweedShawlJune26_2_.pdf”. So sorry for any confusion!
