FLOWER SHAWL
Eleonora Tully’s sumptuous and summery ower shawl is a riot of colour and fun to hook.
You’re never too old to be a flower girl with this fabulous motif shawl. Hooked up in Schoppel’s multi-coloured yarn, Zauberball Crazy, the motifs link into each other in an unusual way, and it’ll be fun to hook. It’s light enough to fold down in your handbag or pop into a backpack for festival weekends, too.
NOTES
The Shawl is made up of 77 individual Motifs which are joined as you go. Starting with the first Motif at the point of the Shawl, each subsequent Motif is joined to the Motifs around it on Round 4b by working the chains through the corresponding ch-9 spaces of the previous Motifs. When joining the side of a Motif to the Shawl it will be joined at 2 adjacent ch-9 sps for each Motif. For example, when joining to 4 Motifs on the Shawl you will make 8 joins.
Use the diagram on page 94 when joining the Motifs.
