Pop or Not Shawl can be made with just 100g of 4ply yarn for the small size, or 200g for the large size.

One side is POP – the puff stitches are showy and pop out, wanting to be seen.

The other side is NOT, with front post trebles and subtle puff stitches, creating strings of tiny butterflies down the shawl.

With simple stitch and section repeats, you will be able to crochet a shawl that is mindful, with just the right amount of challenge to keep you interested.

After wet blocking, a simple border is added to create an elegant finish to the shawl.

The pattern is available in UK & US crochet terminology.
