{"product_id":"catkins-crochet-pattern-by-nancy-l-drew","title":"Catkins","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis shawl's design reminds me of graceful branches of pussy willow (catkins). It can be a larger shawl or a smaller shawlette, and is appropriate for most lace and fingering weight yarns.  The lacy design has a lot of drape and, depending on your yarn choice, would make a beautiful year round accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the first few rows of crocheting, the pattern changes to an easy two-row repeat of chains, double crochet and clusters.  The chained border is lightly beaded, but beading is optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause of the top-down construction, gauge is not important.  However, it is important that you use a hook several sizes larger than what the yarn calls for to get the proper drape.  Swatching and blocking is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've rated this pattern as Advanced beginner, because basic knowledge of crochet is necessary.  This includes single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch and chains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LoveCrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56746037444986,"sku":"UPID11074","price":6.81,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/92259797957e1a78d211f5941f18a7eec3c97ccc_UPID11074_172838117507798.jpg?v=1775863915","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-au\/products\/catkins-crochet-pattern-by-nancy-l-drew","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
