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.

    The Annie’s book I’d love for you to review next is the Figure Flattering Plus-Size Fashions Crochet Pattern Book. It hard to find great crochet plus size patterns. It would be great to know more about this book. Thank you.

    Love the look of the Heather Shawl & like that there are 22+ patterns in this magazine. It is very difficult to find crocheting magazines where I am. I have to go to my local Barnes & Noble & they charge between $9.99 to $12.99 just for a magazine! I would rather take that money and buy yarn.
