Way, way back, I started a simple granny shawl with a couple of Stonewashed XL balls. I had a couple of skeins in various colours and I was in the mood for a quick and easy project.

If you want to make one yourself, that’s easy! All you have to do is follow the instructions for my Vintage sweet shawl until the shawl is the desired size. That’s all!

Very pretty and great way to use scraps. Great for warmer climates as I miss crocheting.

I still can't find the pattern! It only goes so far, then stops....

Is the pattern called Vintage Sweet Shawl, or is it XL granny square? Anyway, I've given up.

Is the the Vintage Sweet Shawl, or the Simple Granny Shawl, or the XL Granny Winter Shawl?? Can you just post a link??

Hi Annette, to make the XL Granny Winter shawl, you use the colours mentioned in the XL Granny Winter shawl post (the post you're posting these comments on) and follow the instructions for the vintage sweet shawl: https://haakmaarraak.nl/free-crochet-pattern-vintage-sweet-shawl The pattern is the same for both shawls, for the XL Granny Winter shawl you simply don't crochet the edging and work with a different yarn in random colour stripes :)

Hi. How many rows did you do for the XL Granny Shawl?

Also, I don’t see where you added picots but it’s listed as a item in your description. Did you ever add those to your shawl?

I would have rather seen the extra large Granny shawl. It was better looking.

I have taught students at my college this pattern because this is the Best for beginners. After they finish with this pattern they become a better crocheter. Now they are ready for other patterns.

I'm very glad to hear, Gladys! Thank you for letting me know :D

How many stitches do you have at the end? I’d rather do the biggest part then decrease each side making it to a small triangle. Hoping you can help me.

oof, that's a good question! I don't have the sample anymore so I can't check it for you. But I'm not completely sure what you mean - the pattern is worked on both sides of the triangle to grow the triangle, so almost like a round-based pattern that you turn halfway. What you're describing seems like you want to make it a row-based pattern, and that would make it a different pattern. But let me know if I'm wrong!

The pictures only show the shawl folded up. Did you change color every 2 rows? The Vintage Sweet Shawl doesn't mention color changes as frequently. Also, did you repeat the colors in a specific order or did you alter the order? Thanks for your help!

Hi Kelly, yes, I changed the colours every two rows (cut yarn after two rows, join new colour with ss in the last stitch and continue pattern). If you want to replicate the exact colour sequence, start with 2 rows in Colour A, then 2 in Colour B, then 2 in C etc. Once you finished with Colour E, move to Colour A again. You can keep this up until the shawl is the desired size!
