Lovely crocheted shawl! Always buy an extra skien of yarn this cluster stitch pattern uses alot of it.

Go to Red Heart and get the instructions. I wouldn't be surprised if someone made a typo typing up the instructions here.

@spinningamy we have copied this pattern exactly from the Red Heart original. If you do see a discrepancy, please let us know so we can update the pattern. Thanks! -Kaylee, Editor for FaveCrafts.com

Love, love this Crochet Valentine Shawl. The pattern is somewhat difficult to understand as the last poster says, I'm hoping I can figure it out and make this beautiful shawl. Thank you for this free pattern.

I am having difficulty with row 15-7 . I always nd up with more than 84 hdc. If you have 63 clusters with a ch1 between them and crochet 2hdc between you end up with many more than 84. Please Help.

If there is a knitting pattern for anything similar to the above you would have at least one enthusiastic reader who would love to knit it. A big thank you if you can and if not, I shall keep looking for a similar pattern.

Karen - Thanks for your comment. I did finally figure out the directions and have the shawl almost done. I found that one has to really study the meaning of the directions. I don't think they are particularly clear. The shawl is turning out well.

Step 8 is confusing. What is hdc? and why not explain in the stitches section. I have 33 hdc (hdc? half double crochet?)

hdc - Half Double Crochet us standard term, Yarn over, pull up loop in stitch indicated, yarn over, pull through all loops on hook. Hdc made.

Row 7. got me at first too. "[hdc in next ch-1 space, ch 1] twice". It means do the hdc-ch1 in each of the next two ch sps. You have the beginning ch3, ch1, hdc in next ch1 sp, ch 1, hdc in next ch1 sp, ch1, hdc-ch1-hdc together in next ch 1 sp., and repeat. The hdc-ch1-hdc all in the same ch1 sp is every third stitch. the sequence stops with the last ch1 and the last stitch is a hdc in the top of the turning. chain. Hope this helps 'cause this is not an official reply. cheers!

I'm stuck at Row 7 (#8) I ended up with way more than 44 hdc. The repeats are very unclear. It's such a lovely shawl - I really want to finish it.

I never received a reply to my problem, My problem was posted, but where is the answer? br I'm stuck at Row 7 (8) the repeats are very unclear and I am ending up with way more than 44 hdc. I see there was another person with the same problem - but where is the answer?

I am stuck aat#7 (row 8) * [ ]twice** does that mean that I repeat what is in brackets 2 times? ........I keep getting more than 44 hdc. Could you break ea process down & e-mail. It is a beautiful shawl & I cant't wait to finish.

I love this pattern. Not only would it be great for Valentine's Day, but it would be a great accessory to wear in the fall or for a Christmas party!

why can i not translate your side from english to danish?
