    I have just finished this shawl my mother in law is from England she made one for our first granddaughter and feels she cannot at the age of 90 make another for our second granddaughter so I gave it a go and I am so please with the results I do crochet usually with bulky yarn but never with this fine a yarn you are the best teacher ever. I actually learned to crochet from RUclips and have watched hundreds of videos and you are definitely the best teacher I have encountered so thank you so very much.

    Thanks heaps. I used a larger hook (6mm) and turned out great. I love how you can adapt the wool and hook depending on what look you are looking for, dainty or more chunky look. Its brillant definelty going to be one of my go to's.

      Janie if you get stuck, which I'm sure you won't just send me a comment or rewind the video. You can do the lace art in as many rounds as you wish and the middle circle as big as you want it. Just make sure you have AN EVEN NUMBER OF LOOPS once you do the mesh part after the circle. if you have an odd number of loops just make 1 more loop after you slip stitch to join that round. If you understand what I mean as you need an even number to do the cluster rounds

    A blanket/shawl? If you made it bigger how would it fit as a shawl? Even if you fold it in half? Could you shown one used in that way? It's very beautiful.
    P.S. Yours is the first video that I have EVER understood how to make the increases and have it lie flat. The single dc/tc goes up by 1 with each row. Brilliant! Thank you.

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  4 года назад

      Hi Kim, so glad you managed the circle sometimes it just takes 1 video to make things click, believe me, I too have to see something done in order to understand some crochet stitches. As for the shawl question that's why I put blanket/shawl. The size I made is a shawl, if bigger id class it as a blanket. Traditionally a shawl is usually open weave pattern or small enough to wrap around shoulders if round its folded in half. The lace shawl mainly for babies was for leaving hospital or Christenings and traditionally crochet or knitted by a member of the family usually a granny then handed down the generations. Nowadays they are made and given as gifts. My mother crochet and knitted everyone in our family a shawl when they had their 1st baby

      @@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Ok, that makes more sense for me. Given the, not tightness...the solidity of the center circle, it reminded me of a Scottish Hap. Except instead of a large square with a border, it was a circle. If you could ever look into the creation of a Hap I would be so grateful.

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  4 года назад +1

      I used just less than 200g. Yip this cost me £1.98 for the 2 100g balls of yarn. I bought basic baby double knitting. If you are in the UK I got this pink from Wilko it's called Tootsie. I am going to make it in a blue with Carron simply soft, their balls are 170g usually buy that in packs of 3 there is an Amazon link in the description box for my amazon influencer page. he hook was a 4,5mm a bigger hook will give a more lacy effect.

    Hi Alison, thanks for your precise and easily understood to even me, - a new crochet person. Knitted for years but giving crochet a go now. Could you use 2ply wool? If so what size of needle? Jane

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  4 года назад

      Oh yes, Jane, My mum used 2ply a lot for baby shawls. I am sure she used a 3.05 (three and a half) it will be smaller than mine. If you use a smaller hook you might just have to do a few more rounds for each section. If you use a larger hook it will just look lacier that's all. Give a 3.5mm a try see how it looks just for a few rounds if you don't like it then use a 4mm hook.

      I used a 4.5mm with double knitting I could have used a 5mmor even a 5,5mm The smaller the hook the thicker and smaller the stitch the bigger the hook its more loose larger stitches and a bigger size at the end. The old tradition was thin yarn thin hook, but not always as some brilliant results come from changing hook sizes its just trial and error. Oh and the hook size attached to yar or wool labelling was to get the best result of a pattern from that yarn/wool also tension comes int play too. I just pick up a hook I like and give it a bash hahaha

    Been wanting to do a round blanket and now I found one I like thank you very much! Also, what size hook did you use for this project? Thanks in advance!

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  4 года назад +3

      I used a 4.5mm hook, just remember once you do the mesh half make sure you have an even number of loops so you start on a cluster and finish on the last loop with a 1 double treble to keep the pattern correct. If you don't you can add 1 more loop after you slip stitch to join the round if you know what I mean.. Oh, and I put a marker on my chain 4 loops so I knew where the start and end of each mesh round were as I got lost the 1st time I did this.

      @@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Thank you so much for your quick response and tips :) I tried to see what size when you were making the shawl, I just couldn't tell it if it was 4 or 5 :)

    Good evening. If I wanted to make the second section wider, the first lace section how would I need to increase to keep it getting wider. Thankyou. Hope this makes sense

      Try adding a stitch to the chains i cant remember how many i did in this pattern but in the video if i say chain 4 try chain 5 AFTER the initial rounds to continue to a bigger shawl you might have to try and start the chains in-between the pattern 1 extra too I hope the reply makes sense Xxx

    I am making this baby shawl, but find my increases (2trebles) donot fall on the previous rounds increases as yours does. I have undone this a few times to see if where I'm going wrong. So instead of increasing by one treble I am increasing with 2trebles in each round. Can you explain? Lovely shawl thank you.

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  3 года назад

      off hand I don't know why its not working, try putting a marker at the increase areas it might be easier to see where its going wrong.

    Hi Alison, I am going to do this lovely shawl/blanket for my stepson and partners forthcoming baby. Can you remember at all how many balls of yarn you used? and were they 100gm balls? I would be very grateful if you are able to recall the amount you used. I love your channel, it has so many beautiful baby blankets, its hard to choose which to do!! I hope you are bearing up regarding your recent sad breavement. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ❤

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  Год назад

      I used around 2 and a half balls so 3 balls of 100g should be enough it works up fast once you do the lace part

      Hi Alison, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my request. 3 balls that will be great as I have some small amounts of yarn I would like to use up. 🥰
