  1. This shawl is gorgeous!!! Thanks so much for sharing the instructions in a print friendly version and especially for providing them for free.

  2. Wonderful crochet shawl pattern. I am “the shawl queen”. Love to make, wear, and give away shawls. Making and keeping this one for myself!

  3. The Sonder shawl is beautiful. But I am having problems with row 6. At the end of the row I get 82 dc not the 76 as stated. What am I doing wrong? I’ve been crocheting since I was a teenager. I am now pushing 70. Thanks for your help.
