The Teacher Is a Student: Mom’s Shawl

My mother taught me to crochet, even though she denies it! Recently she wanted to make a shawl for herself, so she picked my Sonata Shawl pattern. Instead of the mercerized cotton I used, she chose a Plymouth cotton blend that’s a little heavier. The yarn has a nice sheen to it. After a few false starts, Mom completed this beautiful shawl and added some fringe to it. It looks even better on her than it does on this mannequin!

  1. A truly lovely shawl. Very pretty and elegant - but I could also see getting away with wearing it anywhere one chooses. Kudos to your mom. She did great!
