	bonnie larock January 27, 2008 07:38 PM PST I love this pattern. I made this stole for my daughter to wear with her prom dress. She looked beautiful. Thanks so much for your idea. Bonnie larock


	Sarah November 24, 2007 11:45 AM PST Hi, I'm doing this for my Mum for Christmas, but I'm having trouble on row 8. Is it not supposed to start with "ch1, sc in 1 sc", rather than "sc in next 2 sc"-there is only 1 sc there and then it is a ch-3 sp! Help!!


	Corinne September 8, 2007 10:33 AM PDT Hi. I am planning on making this shawl for my two flowergirls, ages 3 and 6. Any ideas on how long the chain should be for little girls?


	Nita July 10, 2007 08:45 PM PDT I have a question about the pattern for this- would one 440 yard hank of lace weight alpaca yarn be enough to make this stole, if I used a smaller hook? How are you and Gracie doing? Nita


	Paula April 10, 2007 08:40 PM PDT Greetings! I love this pattern and cannot wait to try it. However, I want to make it for my 8 yr old daughter's 1st Communion next month... how do you suggest I shorten it? What should my starting chain be? I am going to be using Bernat's Baby Coordinates yarn which I don't think should be a problem. I hope you can help me modify the size on this because I'm not very good at figuring these things out on my own :) Thanks! Oh, and my 130# black dog Spike woofs a hello to your Spike!


	Snow White February 6, 2007 02:09 AM PST Hi Dot, i liked ur pattern n trying to make it... but i m having problem in 4th row... can u tell me is there any stitch missing in there?? it is getting pulled up n i m getting very confused in 4th row... thanks..


	Dot April 30, 2006 10:31 AM PDT Hi Kisha, no, there's no stitch missing. You're going to end up with 3 sc's in a row right there, it will pull your work a little, but don't worry, it will work out. Just keep going, I think you'll soon see how the pattern is working up. You'll love how this looks when you hold it up and try it on.


	Kisha April 28, 2006 04:05 PM PDT I am trying to work ROW 4 and I'm having a little problem. Is there a stitch missing between "sc in the next sc, sc in the next ch-3 sp"? Is there suppose to be a chain 3 or something there? I'm only a few repeats in but if i have to frog than so be it :0(.


	Dot April 10, 2006 04:10 PM PDT Hi Suze, thanks, glad you like my sites. Sorry I can't help you with the tie, just keep up the "trial and error" until you get it the way you want it. That's how I do it.


	Suze April 9, 2006 11:50 AM PDT Hi Dot I have been looking everywhere for a crochet necktie pattern. I have been fumbling around trying to make one up myself but they always seem to "lean" -- I'm not getting the the decreases correct. Have you ever tried one? Any hints? thanks!! (ps I love your page here as well as your blog!!)


	Dot March 31, 2006 07:29 PM PST Hi Barbara, thank you so much. I truly enjoy sharing my patterns and hearing from people who use them. This is probably my favorite of all pattern stitches. It just looks so beautiful on anything you make from it. OK, to answer your questions... 1. Is it a Rectangle? Yes. It's just a simple rectangle, no shaping involved. The pattern is worked in rows and turns at the end of each row. 2. I use stitch markers frequently to show me where my first and last stitch of a row are. I also use them to mark a specific stitch in a group of stitches. I don't know if I actually used them in this pattern or not, I use them so often, they are automatically a part of my "you need this" list. 3. Is the 194 foundation chain the "length"? Yes. That is the length that drapes across your shoulders and arms. The rows will go from you neck down your back. Good luck with this project and if you need my help, email me at bythehook7647 (at) yahoo (dot) com.


	Barbara March 31, 2006 05:38 PM PST Hi, Dot. Your work is gorgeous, and I am trully impressed by how generous you are in sharing and helping us all. I am a "new" crochet-er. I would LOVE to do try your "elegant lace stole" but I have a question or two: 1. Is it a rectangle? (Because of the draping and the overprinting on the pix it looks like there might be some shaping) 2. I've never used stitch markers, and the pattern doesn't say where to use them. Can you tell me? 3. Is the 194 foundation chain the "length" -- the part that goes across my arms and back, while the "rows" go from my neck down my back?


	wd.Linda@hotmail.com March 23, 2006 12:53 AM PST HI, I am looking for a stitch pattern. It is a 7 shell stitch made with double crochet. The next row is double crochet in the top of the shells, with a V formed at the small end of the shell. Does anyone have this. Linda


	Dot March 6, 2006 09:42 AM PST Hi Theresa, I didn't get an email from you. I'd love to see your pictures and post them in the Hall of Fame if you'll let me. Email me at bythehook7647 (at) yahoo (dot) com. I look forward to seeing your pictures.


	Theresa March 5, 2006 07:12 PM PST Hey Dot! I don't know if it went through, but I just tried to contact you via the website. I just finished this pattern, and have a few pics for you, if you want them.


	Dot January 16, 2006 07:31 PM PST You're welcome, I look forward to seeing it. I love Crochetville, too. See you there.


	Theresa January 16, 2006 05:51 PM PST Thanks for responding so fast, Dot! I will play with it and see what I can come up with. I will send you a pic when I finish it. By the way...I am Crochet Fanatic on Crochetville. I love Crochetville!


	Dot January 16, 2006 01:07 PM PST Hi Theresa, thank you, I'm glad you like the pattern. It's been one of the most popular I have. I've never used microspun so I can't advise you from personal experience, but you should be alright using it. you might need to make more rows to get it wide enough to suit you. Good luck with your project.


	Theresa January 16, 2006 05:55 AM PST Hi Dot...I LOVE your patterns, and am looking to try this one out. I am just itching to try it in Lion Brand Microspun, as this yarn is soooo soft and gorgeous! As I'm sure you know, Microspun is a sport weight yarn, so I think I will have to add on to the rows a bit. Do you have any suggestions for me?


	Dot December 22, 2005 10:34 AM PST Hi Susan. Thank you, I'm glad you like my site and my patterns. I'd love to see pictures of what you've done. Your Elegant Lace Stole sounds gorgeous, I certainly want to see the picture with your daughter modeling. I believe you're right about the * in row *. I went back and looked at my notes and I have it in the wrong spot in my handwritten notes too. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'll make corrections as soon as I can. Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year too.


	Susan December 21, 2005 11:34 PM PST Hi Dot! LOVE your site, I've made many of your projects. This lovely stole was the most recent. I made it in this very shade of lavendar with deep purple fun fur trim. .it turned out beautifully! (I have a picture of my daughter modeling it I will send you)..I just wanted to add, in doing row 8 it seemed the * to repeat the pattern might be in the wrong position ..should it appear before chain 5 rather than sc in next chn 3 space? Thank you for your wonderful patterns!


	Dot December 13, 2005 05:06 PM PST Hi Laura, your stole sounds absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see it when you're done.


	Laura December 13, 2005 01:30 PM PST Love this pattern. I am making one for my work Christmas Party in Simply Soft Black and I am going to trim it in black fun fur. I am on row five right now and it looks and feels so soft and velvety. Thanks for a great pattern!


	Dot December 8, 2005 10:48 AM PST Thanks Rebecca, I hope you enjoy the pattern when you get a chance to work on it. Happy holidays and happy hookin'!


	Rebecca December 7, 2005 10:35 PM PST WOW!! Dot you amaze me the way you just keep churning out such amazing patterns! This one is truly beautiful. It pains me to realize I can't start it till after Christmas!! I can hardly wait!!


	Dot December 6, 2005 10:08 AM PST Thank you, Sara, glad you like them.

	Vims December 1, 2005 01:48 AM PST I had to leave you a comment here lol!! I am making myself one right now!!!


	Dot December 1, 2005 12:32 AM PST Hi Betsy. Thanks, glad you like it. The pattern stitch is a multiple of 8 + 2. Happy holidays.


	Betsy November 30, 2005 11:41 PM PST Hi Dot. This pattern is gorgeous as usual, but I've got one quick question. Would you happen have on hand the number of stiches in each pattern repeat so I can add length to my stole. Thanks much for any help.


	Dot November 30, 2005 07:09 PM PST Hi Vicki, thank you, glad you like it.


	Vicki November 30, 2005 04:14 PM PST Dot I just LOVE this new pattern. Gorgeous! I'll be making it as soon as I purchase the yarn. Thanks for another beautiful pattern. Vicki
