  1. Could you tell me what weight this yarn is please? I am in the UK, so it isn't possible to obtain the yarn stated. Would it be something akin to what we call double knitting/8 ply?

    1. hello crochet friend, I used turkish Alize yarn, it is sport weight and Ravelry yarn shopping says it's 12 wpi (wraps per inch) meterage. Have a nice crocheting day.

  2. Hello, I am in the process of making this beautiful shawl for a friend. I worked Row 16: (ch 3, dc) in first st, *FPdc in dc, repeat from *to ch 2 space, (dc 2, ch 2, dc 2) in ch 2 space, *FPdc in dc, repeat from *to last st, dc 2 in third ch of previous row, turn. Row 17 says to repeat Row 2. My question is where do I do the double crochets for Row 17, in the top of the FPdc's made in Row 16 or in the top of the double crochets made in row 15? I did them in the top of the double crochet's in row 15, but I'm not sure that's right. I have the same question for rows 18 and 19. Thanks!

    1. Hello, when you start crocheting row 17, leave row 15 completely and and dc the FPdc of row 16. The same applies to the rest of FPdc rows.
      Have a nice crochet day

  3. I have been making great progress on the shawl. I am on row 71 and have another question for you. :-)

    Based on the instructions for this row and my calculations, I should have approximately 238 stitches on one side of the prior row.

    But I seem to have way less than that (204). I did not count stitches every row, but every few rows and I did make sure I didn't miss any rows (I was truly on row 71).

    I was working on the repeat between the * and only got to 12 times and it finished the 1st side of the row.

    I am wondering if you have any advice for me, I can certainly modify the pattern (but I'm not a big fan of that)

    I also wonder if maybe I'm reading the pattern incorrectly?

    Many thanks for your help.

      Let us find out if the problem is in the post so I can correct it.
      first let us compare the puff stitch rows:
      Row 9= 8 puff stitch on one side, 2 in the center, 8 on the side.
      Row 25= 25 puff stitch on one side, 2 in the center, 25 on the other side.
      Row 43= 44 puff stitch on one side, 2 in the center, 44 on the other side.
      Row 63= 65 puff stitch on one side, 2 in the center, 65 on the other side.
      How many do you have?
      Thank you very much for your patience, You're almost done.
      Wiam
