Hi Vanessa! This is perfect timing, I'm making this pattern as two separate gifts this holiday season! Did you follow the dimensions in the pattern or did you freehand the dimensions on your shawl? I want to replicate the size of yours.
Thank you for the quick reply!!! I will experiment with way more rows right off the bat. I love how cozy yours look. Excited to stitch along with this group!
Wow - this is so exciting - I’m mid way through my duster coat but may get distracted by this as a mid project alternative!! I’m pretty new to crochet and find all the yarn terminology and stitches quite confusing - especially as UK terms are different to US ones! I have downloaded the pattern but don’t want a delicate scarf as illustrated in yellow on the pattern but would prefer a larger cosy one like your grey or cream one. So to clarify - it’s ok to use a heavier weight wool with a larger hook and just follow the pattern or do i need to increase the number of rows and if so - do you increase the flowers or plain rows? Thanks so much
Yes you can use a heavier weight yarn and follow the pattern - but I talk about drape in the article and have a yarn suggestion listed. Using a very springy wool will not drape as well!
Vanessa:Thanks to you and Ana for this lovely pattern! How many yards/skeins of the silky soft should I get , to hold with two strands, for something similar in size to your gray shawl?
Thank you! I’ve made 3 Lucy shawls and two triangle shawls (added scalloped edges so cute)so I’m a bit addicted to VSC already😀 I am working on squares for the duster ( up to 37) but listening to your video recaps, I think I chose the wrong yarn with premier anti pilling worsted and it will sag. Not sure if I should cut my losses and order another non wool yarn for cuter that won’t stretch.
Hi I’m new here I have the pattern downloaded, but is there a tutorial ? Or is this paid subscription just so I can get these patterns? Sorry I’m a bit confused , first time on substack
Hello Victoria and welcome! Yes the monthly subscription includes patterns but I’m also working on some tutorials as well. I don’t have one for the falling blossoms shawl at this time but one of our members is recording one. Stay tuned!
Hi Vanessa, I’m struggling with the first few rows of the Falling Blossoms Shawl. Is there any video to show both the starting dc and the first few rows?
Hi Sarah, I struggled with the first few rows also. I had to start over again so many times but I have it now. If you need it, I can film a video for you.

I made two versions following the pattern exactly and did one with many more rows.

Oh wow amazing! If you make the duster shorter you’ll likely have less issues with stretching and sagging. Jsut an idea!
6 skeins!
Might you share how many skeins you used(holding 2 strands together)? 12?, more?
Thank you
I used six!

Wow that’s so generous of you Darlene thank you!
Hi Darlene, that would be amazing. I’ve tried and tried and just can’t get the start right
Hi there sorry I don’t have a video!
Hi, thanks for the pattern . Is the grey one the size as in the pattern or does it have the added rows ?
Same rows as the pattern but much thicker yarn!
Hi Vanessa, I am a subscriber but can't find the free pattern. Thanks
It’s linked in the article!
I am trying to get my free pattern but there is no where for me to put the discount code
Did you click the link to the pattern then add to cart? There should be a place to add a coupon code
Thanks!
