I am crazy about wraps and shawls. This one is no exception. The striped look of this "Autumn Shawl" gives it a little bit more of a sophisticated look. Really, just feel free to use ANY color combination to suit your taste. I would like to see this in shades of navy to violet to lilac. Another win!

Is there a video for this pattern. Don't quite get the "pulling long loop two rows below"? I'm sure I'd get it once I could see it on video. Looks like a nice pattern for Fall. Thanks, Judie

Do you have to use Bernat yarn? That is kind of out of my price range and Red Heart or TLC does the same thing for less money. I have a STASH of many kinds, but those are the two that I use most frequently.

I am wondering also about row numbering; I see there has been no answer yet? why is there no 4 & 6?

I am curious about the row numbers. They read 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 8. Is this really just supposed to be the first six (6) rows? Thank you.

For Cullyann: RS = right side, WS = wrong side, hdc - half double crochet, sl stitch = slip stitch. To do a half double crochet, yarn over and go into next stitch and pull yarn through ( 3 stitches on hook, then yo and pull through all 3 stitches. To do a slip stitch - put hook through next stitch, yarn over and pull through the one stitch on hook. Hope this helps you.

Like the looks of this pattern but, pitures would have been helpful in understanding it

This is a wonderful shawl, but I'm a newbie and I don't understand the RS, WS, hdc, sl stitch. Is there a place on your site where I can get the 'how to's' and the meaning of these abbreviations? Thanks, Colleen Weikel
