Pattern Correction & Tips

Correction:

• The original transcription refers to “half points” and “rod” stitches. In US terminology, “half points” are half double crochet (hdc) and “rod” is double crochet (dc).

Tips:

• When working the border, start the picots consistently in the same spot to ensure proper alignment.
• Use stitch markers at corners for clarity.
• When weaving in ends, pass behind the hdc border for invisibility and neatness.
• Tassels can be made larger or smaller by varying wrap count or cardboard size.
• Block shawl lightly for best drape before adding tassels.
