"Since it's the start of fall, it's time to bring out the heavy yarn. Red Heart's super saver yarn was a challenge to work with for me, and it took me a while to figure out what is the most suitable design for this one skein I had shipped all the way from the US. After a few trials, I decided to make a scarf by merging two opposing textures: lacework and bulkiness. The resulting pattern is a repetition of 14 rows with a pattern that meanders in a zigzag shape. To soften the stiffness of this yarn, I've soaked the finished scarf in cold water with half a cup of white vinegar for about 30 minutes before blocking. The result was a success. Have a nice and healthy fall and stay safe! "

Feeling Flirty Lacy Shell Shawl Crochet Pattern
This feeling flirty lacy shell shawl is so light and delicate. Work this crochet pattern from the bottom up. Start with one shell and continue adding a shell to each side as you work up. Since this is made from a yarn cake that has beautiful, variegated colors throughout, there were just two yarn ends to weave in at the end. This lacy shell stitch is achieved by repeating two rows throughout this pattern. One row consists of chain and single crochet stitches. The next row is where the shell is made by working a double crochet in the same stitch five times. I have included photos of the first few rows to help with understanding the pattern. Additionally, there are video tutorials for both left and right hand crocheters. Lastly, there is a chart detailing the row being worked and number of shell stitches per row.
