Description
A crescent shaped shawl is the perfect canvas to get your imagination and creativity going. The way these shawls are constructed is easier than most people think, and you can achieve really amazing finished objects.
In this class we’ll see in depth what different basic constructions you can use, and we’ll also talk about:
- How different yarns behave when worked up in a crescent shawl.
- How to include lace patterns in your design
- How to use short rows to modify the shape and layout
- How to handle different colors
- How to block your shawls
At the end of this class we’ll discuss briefly how to write instructions for all these steps and turn them into a good shawl pattern.
