I am stuck on row 10, confused after the sc in the 5th chain on the 9-chain space, then "picot", chain 5. Picot instructions were to chain 6, then slip stitch on the last chain . . . please help. Thank you,

Editor Dana

Aug 17, 2018

Hi there! I believe it means you should do the picot stitch (Ch 6, slip st in top of last st made) then ch 5 more after that and continue. I hope that helps! There are also a ton of helpful comments troubleshooting this pattern as you scroll down. I hope some of the insight other crocheters have offered also helps with this pattern!

Jul 04, 2015

Just now seeing this as I am currently making this one. I found that it seems to be missing a row of instructions. Starting with Row 8 I did a chain 3 instead of chain 5. Then trCl in same trCL instead of next. Because looking at the picture, that seems to be the row where you start to do 2 trCl in the same trCl. Then for Row 9, I did chain 5 instead of chain 9. Then I repeated row 9 with the original count of the chain 9. That worked for me. Then Row 10 became row 11 and so on. After that the instructions worked as written so far.

I've made two of these and just deciding on a new colour before starting on the next. I made a smaller version for my 8yo daughter by using trebles (US double crochet) in stead of the double trebles and it scaled down beautifully. Thanks for a great pattern.

Why doesn't the pattern indicate how many picots you make during Row 10? It only mentions 24 clusters. Kindof leaves me hanging.

In response to the confusion over Row 10 and the 11 triples, you just skip them...it's that easy! Check the pictures to see for yourself (=

I'm curious about Row 1...do I end the row with sl st at the top of the ch-4 and then turn OR just turn without sl st at the ch-4? So I guess I'm not working a circle??

re: Row 1. You are not going to be working in a circle but you are working out of a semi-circle at the base of the back of the neck.

I'm a big girl, so I carried the edging about 20 more rows than the pattern called for to get the coverage and drape I wanted. But if someone could tell me how to do my increases in the pattern before the "pineapples", I would love that alternative too. kat in sNJ

I'm almost finished with the last row of edging on this and I must say the only trouble I've had with it is when I did not trust the pattern (rows 10 and 17) or when I didn't read carefully (row 10) and possibly once when I had one too many glasses of wine ;). This is a gorgeous shawl! I used 2nd Time Cotton by Knit One Crochet Too (a recycled cotton/acrylic blend) and I've shown it as I've been completing it and gotten many compliments. It's a very easy pattern when you trust it and it comes along very quickly with the tall treble stitches. I started 8 days ago and will finish this morning. Thank you for the pattern!

I made this in a blue self striping boucle yarn - absolutely beautiful - you can see the pattern in the boucle, which I've found is very hard to accomplish with most patterns. I love the drape and the pineapples - delicate without being too "old fashioned". Caron has some very beautiful patterns that they offer for free. I'll make a few more of these for the fall.

This is a lovely shawl and I'm finally almost finished. So much fun to crochet. I have a question on the Edging - second row. It states "ch 3, slip st in next ch-3 space, ch 3, trCl in next ch-3 space" - I have chained 3, but don't know how to proceed to chain 4 for the beginning of TrCl. Do I do that in the slip stitch ch3 space (and have 7 chains in a row - or is there a stitch in the next chain before the ch 4 start of the TrCl? Thank you.

Hi, love this pattern thanks! It's so quick to do I made it as a gift for my sister in a week in any spare moments i could grab between work, kids and socialising. I'm starting one for me now! Just a note for any other non-American crocheters out there; be aware that American patterns are not the same as English ones; the stitch names are the same but generally refer to different stitches! (eg: American sc= English dc , etc) If in doubt, check this out in a book where they actually show the stitches being worked and you'll see what I mean. To anyone having trouble working this shawl, read the pattern closely row by row and don't try to second-guess; do just what it says. I found it to be absolutely correct. All the best; happy crocheting!

Can someone help me with these directions to the Goddess Shawl??? On row 16 it says Beg-trCl in first trCl, ch 3, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 3, trCl in next trCl, ch 6, skip next ch-6 space, [sc in next ch-6 space of pineapple, ch 6] twice, *[trCl in next trCl, ch 3, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 3] twice, trCl in next trCl, ch 6, skip next ch-6 space, [sc in next ch-6 space of pineapple, ch 6] twice; repeat from * across to last shell, trCl in next trCl, ch 3, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 3, trCl in last trCl, turn37 clusters, and 12 pineapples. Do I really skip all the first pineapple stitches??? That creates a large hole. Any help would be appreciated. On my piece I have the beg-trCl and then it is the pineapple, then the cluster of 3 tr-cl, then another pineapple.

Have just completed Goddess Shawl, and loved every minute of it. Can somebody tell me has the one shown in pattern been caught somewhere to make it appear to have sleeves ??

Tigerduck

May 20, 2012

Yes, the way it's worn in the picture is a bit misleading isn't it? It would be easy enough to add a fastening at the front and catch it in under the arms with a stitch on each side once you see how it fits you, as it does look pretty worn that way. I love the one I made so much that I want to make at least another 2!

@suezannmiller 8337743, We have noticed a few users having a similar problem, though the patterns are printing fine on our end. We are currently monitoring this issue and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you. For the time being, we recommend copying and pasting patterns into a Word document and printing that way. Many users prefer to print this way so they can adjust font, delete text, etc. Thank you for your patience and understanding! --Editors of FaveCrafts

for Row no. 10, the picot goes on top of the first trCl...just chain 6 and slip stitch back into the top of the trCl...so there is one picot in the middle of each 9chain and one between each trcl...thats how i did it and its come perfectly in the next row also...so I'm assuming its ok :) hope this helps...

Are you ending up with 22 instead of 24? Perhaps you missed that the first and last clusters in row 7 are actually cluster shells?

Hi gcarletti 2963972, It looks like the shawl is just pinned to shape in those places. It's an optional addition. You could also sew it in those spots to create sleeves. Thanks! -Editors of FaveCrafts

Oct 09, 2011

Your shawl appears to be fastened together under the arms, to form sleeves, the pattern does not show this.The shawl is also fastened in the front, and the pattern does not show this either.

If you are having trouble on Row 16 go back and redo Row 15. I made the mistake of just doing Beg trCl instead of a Beg trCl SHELL. So in the end there are supposed to be two clusters instead of one. Small mistake but I found where everyone is getting stuck on this row.

Here are some clarifications that helped me so far I have just completed Row Row - is the first time we see the Beginning Treble Cluster SHELL - as opposed to the Beginning Treble Cluster The SHELL is twice as big as the cluster The Treble Cluster SHELL is written trCl ch trCl It is helpful to circle all clusters shells and increases in the pattern so you don't accidently miss them Later on in Row the pattern does call attention to it there is a treble cluster shell INCREASE and it is written trCl ch twice trCl Row - the second picot is made in the top of the next tr from the row below This worked as I completed Row with no problems When I first started crocheting following the directions used to be confusing with a pattern like this so I would write out in long hand the…Read More directions limiting just one instruction to a line and if the abbreviations are confusing for you - write out the whole word I also would recommend a size I hook for this pattern if I ever made it again I remember what it was like to be a beginner I was self-taught so I had lots of problems but no one to help me Now with computers others are just a click away - I think in the interest of carrying on the craft and what it means to love crochet we should extend ourselves to each other happily that's just how I see it

I have just received information about this Goddess Shawl from Carrie at Caron (www.naturallycaron.com). They published the original pattern under "Aphrodite Shawl". Carrie says: We have had this pattern reviewed many times. The most common error people make is to confuse the Treble Cluster and Treble Cluster Shell. Also note, when a ch-3 space is referred to, it is created in the previous row whenever a treble cluster shell is worked. Notice the definition for treble cluster shells (below), they all include a ch-3. Sometimes a crocheter may accidentally work the treble clusters, not treble cluster SHELLS. Beg-trCl shell: Beginning treble cluster shell(Beg-trCl, ch 3, trCl) in indicated stitch. trCl shell: Treble cluster shell(trCl, ch 3, trCl) in indicated stitch. trCl shell-inc: Treble cluster shell increase([trCl, ch 3] twice, trCl) in indicated stitch. I hope this clarifies this pattern for all of you. Helen

After reading the comments I see that Row 10 has puzzled many of us. Can anyone tell me where the picot goes?

I am almost through with my second one and have not found any mistakes, just take it one step at a time. My husband thought the first one was so beautiful, he told me to go buy a dress to go with it!

Along with several others here I too found that row 10 is NOT CLEAR OR CORRECT in it's instructions. There is no way this shawl comes out right and as it should with the way the instructions are given for row 10!!..and I gave it several attempts at trying before giving up! It's a shame that whoever posted this pattern has not checked back to read the comments to give assistance, or that those who claim they managed to complete this would kindly share and assist in understanding of row 10!! As a result I have now moved on to a much prettier and very well written pattern! :)

I made this in less than a week in my spare time with two small kids. I found it to be quite clear, and one of the easier patterns I've done. I really don't understand what the confusion is, because if you read what you're supposed to do it works exactly right. It's a beautiful shawl!

I think the reason there's trouble on row 10 is because row 9 is missing 2trCl in each trCl because by the end of row 9 there are supposed to be 24trCl, and 11 tr. I'm just afraid to alter it until there's been some sort of official correction because I want it to fit correctly. HELP!

Hi, I'm having trouble with row 10 also! I have flown through the pattern up till now but I am not understanding the placement of the picot... I get that the 1st one goes in the 1st sc, but on the next one, does that go into the next trCL? after the 1st picot the pattern says "ch 5, trCL in next trCL, *picot, trCL in next trCL, ch5, sc in 5th chain of next ch-9 space, picot, ch5, trCL in next trCL; repeat.... so from the * where does THAT picot go, in the top of the trCL you just did or does it go into the next trCL before you do the trCL??? Please help I'm so confused and really was loving this pattern until now!!!!!!

I'm stuck on row 16. It says " Beg-trCl in first trCl, ch 3, sc in next ch-3 space, ch 3, trCl in next trCl, " but the row above didn't have ch-3's until the trCl shell INCREASE. Where is the first sc placed? After the Beg-trCl, I've got a ch-6 and then the bottom of a pineapple.

Goddess Shawl is the third name given on favecrafts.com for this shawl that I have found in less than a week. However, this time I now have a designer name - by Karen Drouin for Naturally Caron. As I am relatively new to favecrafts.com can anyone tell me if it is customary to keep changing the name for a popular pattern. I have patterns that date back to the 40's and never saw one with a name change and ran again.

I've tried and tried row 8. Not coming up with the 24 clusters and 11 triples. Only 12 clusters and 6 triples. What am I missing?

Just wanted to say thanks to DS's post on july 29. I appreciate your picot stitch tip. When put together with the photos it all made sense! Woo Hoo! This is fun! How many projects do I have going now? Hmm. Never a dull moment.

I am making this shawl for my dear Aunt who is going to have knee surgery this month.I need help with # 17 (row 16): Beg-trCl in first trCl,ch3,sc in next ch-3 space (does this mean I skip the ch-6,the [sc in next ch-6 sp of pineapple,ch-6] 3 times.the ch-6 ,and the first trCl of shell increase ? If I do this it is like I am making a loop (arm opening?) on this row.It doesn't look big enough to be an arm opening though.I would so deeply appreciate any help with this.I have to get it finished and on its way by Aug.9th.Thank You.

I used James G. Brett's marble yarn in amythest and it is so beautiful. This pattern worked up so quickly and I had no problem with the directions. I'm going to make several others for Christmas gifts.

Looking at the directions for the picot stitch......it's not worked into the row below. It says to chain 6 then slip stitch into top of last stitch made. So in #11 (row 10) where it says chain 5, sc in 5th chain of ch 9 space. That next picot is worked into the top of that sc that you just made.....not into the base. Does that make sense? I'll try to be more clear if you need me to be......happy stitching!

o k I completed the shawl by Saturday and wore it over a brown dress I got numerous compliments I also brought the shawl to my knit crochet group and everyone absolutely loved it I found the shawl to come more fuller than the picture showed and as I posted previously I would have used a smaller hook I have been crocheting for many many years and this is one of the hardest projects I have made I had to be in complete silence to follow the instructions As I said in my previous post Row was confusing I worked it out with where to put the picot but to be honest I can't tell you what I actually did All I can say is that the finished product was beautiful P S if I have time I'll sit down and figure out where the picot goes on Row and post…Read More it good luck everyone

Just started tonight, got to row 11. No problem yet. So far the instructions are very good and easy to follow. Hey, and I'm German... Until recently American crochet instructions were like Chinese for me... :-) What is it after row 6 that causes you problems? Is it the shell? The shell is made of 2 clusters with chain in between. Let me know. Maybe I can help.

I am making this Goddess Shawl. I find it confusing that each step is numbered and does not coincide with the Rows. Anyway, I got stumped with #11, Row 10. The instructions didn't indicate where to put the picot. So far, I am up to #17, Row 16. It seems to be coming out right. I guess I won't know until I finish it. I'll try to remember to come back on here and post more comments. I know one thing. I'm sorry I didn't start this shawl with an "I" hook instead of a "J". I guess I crochet loosely. I found it a little hard to check the gauge. I'm hoping to finish this by Saturday as I plan to wear it out. I hope my comments have helped you.

Help please if you can.
