The shawl looks great. I want to make it. I don't understand the stitch (stacked dc) Where can I find instructions for it?

Hi there. I'm so glad you asked! I've added a section about the special stitches just above the pattern. I hope that helps!

So very elegant and pretty for late summer all the way through early fall, worn over your favorite top. IN the winter wear it over your wool coat to keep you snuggly warm. The directions are conveniently located right here on this page, so I thank you for that.

This is a beautiful shawl! I like that it is made using a lighter weight yarn that has a nice drape. The pattern is well written and easy to follow. The colors in this one can go well with any outfit. I have saved this and hope to make it for myself. Thank you for sharing this free crochet shawl pattern.
