You will be able to do this one, I’m sure! I watched the first part of the video (first couple of rows) and Mikey is an EXCELLENT teacher. He makes it really clear as to what you’re doing on each row ... then you just repeat.

I skipped to the end to see how the shawl is finished off & that is “easy” as well. The only issue I have is that the last row is not finished off (only finishing on 3 sides) .... I am sort of obsessed with things being equal, even, etc. For example, I cannot part my hair on the side ... has to be in the middle. That being said, I would likely find a way to finish off that 4th side somehow - just my “quirkiness”!

Good luck if you give it a try.

I usually incorporate that hard-to-finish side edge with a picot finish, or a dc V-stitch with a picot in the center. It always brings the entire thing together with a delicate look. I have about a dozen shawls, different patterns, yarns and colors because I don’t want to spend the money for a winter dress coat.

Going to church, a coat is far too bulky, so shawls are what I use! ;o]

This pineapple Shawl pattern isn’t available in all the places I’ve searched. I found a “two-pineapple” section, but it was so small and didn’t give stitch amounts, that I just set it aside to be brought out on a day when my brain was working better.

Now, however, my sister sent me out some yarn that she spun years ago but doesn’t recall where she was when she did it. So I’m filling a few days by winding it into balls. Anyway, I have the honor of having some beautiful wool yarns to play with!
