Delight and fascination with the Crescent shaped shawls continues for me. This time a joyously colourful combination of #Patons Sierra 8ply with Funky Fluffy trimming and embedded night-black, and silver sequins crocheted in with Inset DC Filet crochet.
While I don't go out partying after dark (anymore), I am definitely keeping this one because one never knows when one gets an opportunity to still sparkle after the sun sets and yet be warm & cozy.
Fuller details, workings, patterns, and even how-to images can be found in the (similar) Crescent Moon shawl CH0545.
Here, I will just note down the basics and offer some photos.
