Oak of life shawl

This pattern was created with inspiration from the mighty old oak trees with all their branches that reach out from the middle trunk. The pattern is also available for FREE on my website, www.meandmyyarn.me/OakRavelry-web in English. The pdf here on Ravelry (eng, US terms) also includes charts / diagrams for the shawl pattern, which the website does not. A video tutorial is also available for this pattern on: Main pattern video tutorial: http://www.meandmyyarn.me/OakOfLifeVideo Edge pattern video tutorial: http://www.meandmyyarn.me/OakOfLifeVideoEdge If you like this pattern and want to support me in making more patterns for you to enjoy, buy this pattern as a pdf-version. That way you’ll have a nice looking printable version that lasts forever and ever, and I can keep creating patterns to keep you happily crocheting until your hook’s on fire! Like that would stop anyone of us from crocheting, really?! Not! But anyway, you get the picture :-) I’m hoping you enjoy this pattern! **Yarn and hook** I used the Hobbii Metallico yarn. 50 g (1.75 oz)/ skein: 50 g , 115 m (126 yds).Yarn weight is medium and I used a 5 mm hook (an H or a 8). The pattern uses 3.5 skeins for the main part of the pattern (rosaline, here “color A”) and 1.5 skeins for the edge (sky blue metallic, here “color B”). So a total of about 600 meters (but you need 4 skeins for the main color and 2 skeins for the edge color). **Shawl size** Measurements after blocking: Tip to base: 74 cm or 32 inches Bas (longest side): 162 cm or 64 inches **Stitches used** slip stitch chain single crochet double crochet triple (treble) crochet puff stitch two double crochet together chain space and two versions of picots **Pattern includes** * Complete video tutorial for both main part and edge part.
