Crochet Shawl On A Plane
Crochet Shawl On A Plane was really designed on a plane as an easy repeat pattern to keep me occupied as I crocheted from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacific Coast.
Designed with texture and 4 unique rows in the pattern to keep your mind busy instead of getting stuck in the boredom of a plane journey.
The pattern is a 4-row repeat which is easy to count. Every time the pattern repeats, the bean stitches and treble back post cross stitches will have expanded by 5. So you can double-check your counts at those rows fairly easily.

Back Story
I took off from Halifax and it took me an hour to keep restarting to get the counts and look I wanted. By the time I was flying over Quebec, I had my pattern in my head and began to make the sample.
Landing in Toronto and continuing to make my shawl as I waited for the next plane, I boarded again for another 5 hours to San Francisco. By the time I got to San Francisco, we had a 3-hour layover and again another 1-hour flight to Reno, Nevada! It was a long day to put it in family-friendly terms.

I love this pattern! My cotton cakes have 530 yards, did you actually use the bigger ones? Or did you use the smaller ones?
Mikey says
The smaller ones. If you noticed the pattern shows the balls were smaller in size-wise in the yarn listing.

It’s really ironic that I see this right now. I’m getting ready to fly from South Carolina to Texas and have been looking for shawl patterns to crochet because I have a 3 hour lay over and another 3 hour wait at the end of my flight for my brother to arrive for the the last part of the trip, so I’m going to have to make an entire shawl. Thanks for this.
