So I finished the Crochet Heart Scarf a couple of weeks ago and while I was working on it, I was inspired to create a fun shawl using the same motifs. So I did! This is how it came out.
The yarn is absolutely beautiful. Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Petunia. The color variegation is really nice and it has a cool mohair feel even though it is 100% acrylic.After talking to Alice Merlino about using her pattern, she agreed that I could make the pattern available for everyone if I refer to her original pattern and do not rewrite her words or use her pictures. Her words and pictures are awesome so check them out when you make my shawl. Here's her pattern and here's my shawl pattern:
