#rainbowshawlcal – weeks 15&16 and finished shawl

Here are the final rows of the #rainbowshawlcal We finish with a few rows of shell stitch in a final colour (I’ve chosen pink). I hope you’ve enjoyed this project. Please do share you finished photos with me, either in the comments or on instagram (I’m @anna.granta and I’d love to be tagged so I can see what you’ve made. Even if you’re making this shawl long after the cal is over I’d still love to see your make. 🙂

I finished off my shawl by tieing my ends into four big knots on each end, using two colours for each tassel. Of course you can do what you like with yours this was my way to avoid weaving in all the ends😉

Test crocheters wanted

96760D1E-5FFA-41F8-9E37-3A763343D852.jpegHello, I’m currently looking for testers for a quick chunky crochet hat. It’s a simple striped hat and is intended to teach simple coloured striping. There are plenty of photo tutorials as well as full written instructions so if you’ve been scared to introduce multiple colours in your crochet this is the pattern for you. It’s also a handy pattern if you’ve just realised that Christmas is fast approaching and you still have a long list of gifts to make as it works up really quicky. I’ve written the pattern for all sizes from baby to large adult.

If you are interested then please sign up to test on ravelry. If you’re not already on ravelry you can create a free account. Click here for the test thread. Thank you!
