Each month I try to choose 1 pattern written by another Designer to crochet, just for fun! This month I picked Heather’s Shawl by Jamie Swiatek.

There were a few other designs I considered from the August Issue of Crochet World, including the Retro Pot Holder Set, Sunny Day Sunflowers and the Striped Overalls. Heather’s Shawl won out because I have always wanted to try making Love Knots but I have never made the time to do so. I always thought they would be complicated and require my extreme concentration to make sure the knot was the right height each time but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed learning and crocheting them! The rows with the Love Knots just flew by and the project progressed quickly because of them.

The pattern is extremely well written. I had no trouble following it and I found no errors. The most difficult part was matching my gauge to the Designer’s gauge. I ended up needing to use a 5 mm (H) hook instead of the hook size suggested. My finished shawl is 60 inches long by 19 inches wide. So my shawl is a little bit wider than the sample in the e-magazine and I think this difference is because of my love knot sections.  I used 391 g (710 yards) of Red Heart Soft yarn, so just under 3 balls, in the color Dark Leaf (E728_9523). The shawl took me one weekend to crochet (while watching The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix – which for a supposedly scary show, made me cry more than it made me jump! It was a fantastic show – I definitely recommend it – just be sure to have some tissue nearby if you are a softie like me!).

You can see my shawl below:

I really love how this shawl turned out! The stitch pattern is beautiful and the love knots add a lovely lace element to the design.
