This is actually my first time knitting a crescent shawl, and I must admit, I’m not super impressed with the garter tab cast on. This was another project for the local yarn store, and on the whole, I would not recommend this pattern. Once I get through my current list of projects I’ll work on designing a crescent shawl that doesn’t have a weird lump at the nape of the neck. Given, however, that this seems to be a fairly typical start to a crescent shawl, that is not my only reason for not recommending this pattern. As written it has one major mistake, a medium level mistake, a relatively minor mistake, and some lack of clarity. Looking back on the finished shawl, it looks like a very simple, easy project, but for some reason it took a lot of effort and deciphering to figure out. That said, the end result is nice, even though I’m not convinced it was worth it. White sheep did enjoy trying it on as well, though Grumpy sheep was highly unimpressed and much more interested in taking a nap.
