Notes

I made ROE as part of a KAL on the Laceknitters Yahoo! Group.

I did a sort of hybrid of the tea cloth and the dinner cloth. I used the instructions for the dinner cloth up to round 212, and I finished it off like the tea cloth. I had to adjust the crocheted cast-off a little bit to account for the larger number of stitches, but it was simple to do.

My finished ROE, when blocked, ended up being 96-inches in diameter. That’s HUGE!

If I had it to do all over again, I would probably use a 3.5mm needle instead of 4mm. But I’m very happy with this stunning shawl. :-)
