I'm guessing this is an open shell stitch, 2 dc c2 2dc in the same stitch. It's either a dc or a hdc, I can hardly see the chart. I know there is a c2 because it specifies it in the pattern, referring to working in the c2 of the shell below.

This Red Heart crochet pattern is really pretty. From the bold design of the pineapple pattern to the long fringes that are used on the edges. As a shawl pattern goes this once can take you to the Opera or the the market. Thanks for sharing this quality pattern link from Red Heart.

It is not really possible to tell for sure with just the single picture provided but the pattern for this sidewalk shawl looks like it could be some or all parts of the pineapple . The extra long fringes are really making a great statement on this piece.

I just said I love lacy designs and this one is really so gorgeous. I thought I've seen them all but they keep on coming in more gorgeous designs. I want to make this in another color probably or just exactly the same color. Beautiful!!

This Sidewalk Shawl looks very beautiful and having the pattern right here is great. I love the pineapple type of pattern in this one. I see there is no stitch chart, so not too sure what "shell" stitch is being done? So do we make up our own? Even with the chart, I can't tell. Has anyone made this beautiful shawl yet, if so how did it turn out and what shell stitch did you do? Thank you for sharing this free crochet pattern.

I clicked on this pattern because of the name - Sidewalk shawl! I am glad I did because now I have to make it! I think the lacy pattern will need a little attention to get started but then should get easy after the first couple of rows, when the pattern starts to show.

This is awesome! I have added this project to my "save project" tab. This looks so expensive! In looking at the pattern it really doesn't seem like a difficult pattern to work up, you would just have to mindful of keeping your place and marking you piece and your pattern as you go. We all know how that is when you suddenly have to get up and go to the bathroom, then lose your place. I think this project would be worth the slight extra effort. The sidewalk gray is spot on, too.

While this pattern is labeled as intermediate, please don't be intimidated by that label. I'm sure than most people could tackle this project, even beginners, as long as you take a bit of extra care in following the pattern and directions. Your hard work and determination will pay off in the end! I think this shawl would look stunning in a shimmery white or black. Perfect accessory for a night out!
