THISTLE AND CLOVER SHAWL PATTERN

Good Morning Stitchers!!  I am so happy to release my newest pattern "Thistle and Clover Shawl"!! This design was inspired by a most wonderful fiber I received from Joshua Graff, the mastermind behind Red Stag Fibre. When I was offered the opportunity to design something using his yarn, I had a hard time choosing between all of this amazing colorways and textures.  The colors are all so rich and vibrant. Each skein was so soft and inviting.  I ended up choosing the Estate Fingering in the tonal colorway "Jewel of the King".  This color conjured up images of the lush green meadows of Ireland and spoke to me of times long past.  I have always been fascinated by Ireland. The landscape, the history and of course, the crochet!!  I wanted to crochet a tribute to the country that has inspired me in so many ways. I hope you will enjoy working this pattern as much as I did designing it!!

Remember....I am a human and sometimes make mistakes!!  If you find an error with my pattern, please let me know in the comment section and I will try to correct it as soon as possible!!!
