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!
