Measurements: Shawl measures 15” (38 cm) wide (from back neck to lower edge) and 86” (218.5 cm) long (across lower edge).
Notes:
1. Flower motifs are worked in joined rounds with right side facing at all times. Motifs are joined using a “join-as-you-go” technique into a long strip.
2. The body of the shawl is worked beginning across one long edge of the flower motif strip.

Next Motif (make and join 22 more)
Round 1: Work same as first motif through Round 1—7 dc and 7 ch-4 spaces. Current motif is now completed and joined to the previous motif when working the last two petals.

I started this and as people say it's confusing, then I saw qa on another site with the same pattern. Actually, you start connecting the flowers during the 2nd round, therefore when speaking of the 1st r the following must be deleted "Current motif is now completed and joined to the previous motif when working the last two petals."

This is so pretty. I love the openness so it doesn't hide the dress. It's not hard to do, but then I have been crocheting for years. I may make a change. What if the basic shawl is done in white, cream or off white and the flowers done in your wedding color?

I in the process of making this beautiful shawl. I just finished the 22 flowers. I'm finding this pattern very confusing. Is there a video or more easily explained directions? Please help, Thank you.

Here's another option for a wedding shawl although personally I find this one a bit short. But I like the rose trimmings on the edges which are the highlight of the shawl. Thanks for having the pattern on the same page making it easy for crocheters.

In the picture, the flowers appear to be joined at the top of the pedals. But the way I am reading the pattern, the first flower ends with a slip stitch in the first 4 chain space. Then the second flower begins with either with the 5 chain circle or the 7 chaos to start the pedal. Either way the center of the second motif is on the base between the last and first pedals. This does not look correct. Please help.

Hello,br /My flowers are quite curly. I connected the last (6th and 7th petal) of first round by ch 2sl st in corresponding ch-4 sp of the previous motifch 1. Then second round I followed the instructions, they're now curly. It's true no good instruction how to join when first round - I invented it but not satisfied.
