Review on 🧣 Lacy Knitted Shawl Patterns: 15 Sock-Yarn Shawls by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

like there's no direction.

Do I have to return it. I have never seen templates written in this order in my life. Lace patterns are often written first and you have to search around to find the composition in the section as if there is no indication of the order in which you complete the pattern steps. The two tone scarf is my favorite, but I've been sitting here for 10 minutes and can't figure out the head or tail of this writing part of the template, how to arrange the sections, and I've made a lot of the same complex parts as here. And sent someone to say the number of stitches doesn't match, which worries me even more, I just don't want to waste my time and energy on something I'm definitely going to make mistakes on. There is a section on reading lace pattern charts here, but nothing that explains why the pattern is arranged in sections in a way that doesn't match the design. Since photos often don't show the entire cloth, you don't get a chance to see it in its entirety to see how the pieces fit together. It's really a shame because I wanted to like that.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
