This shawl has a brilliant appearance with the movement of a solid color through contrasting color stripes. Drape Splendid around the shoulders like a shawl and pin in place, or wrap it around your neck like a cozy scarf. Splendid features a four-row repeat, and the only difference between the row repeats is how they begin and end. Alternating double and single crochet stitches in each row brings in just the slightest bit of texture. This shawl was designed to really let the yarn colors themselves shine. The solid stitch pattern, along with the varying widths of the stripes, allows for strong contrast colors to stand out nicely. * Click [here][7] to watch a video that demonstrates how to crochet this shawl. * The Version 1 sample used approximately 910 yds/832 m total: Color A: 600 yds/549 m and Color B: 310 yds/283 m. * The Version 2 sample used approximately 857 yds/784 m total: Color A: 304 yds/278 m, Color B: 350 yds/320 m, and Color C: 203 yds/186 m. **Gauge is important in this version of the shawl.
