Berries and Cream Shawl
Things you’ll need:
500 yards or more of yarn. It does not matter the weight since this has a pattern repeat. For the example I used one Caron Big Cake which is worsted #4 yarn and one cake was big enough.
Hook - Use a hook two sizes bigger than the suggested hook size for your yarn. This will ensure a nice drape and the puff stitches won’t tighten up the work.
Yarn needle
Scissors
Stitch markers
