Test for Ambah O’Brien.
It’s a really fun shawl with bobbles, a “just one more row” project. Enjoyable and relaxing at the same time.
The bobbles were easy to make, and explained in a video by the designer (in addition to the written instructions).
All instructions were clear and easy to follow.
My measurements are all as in pattern, no modifications made.

I used Knit Companion to track the bobble repeats.
