Bella Vita Shawl by Wilmade

Had fun making this pretty shawl, the Bella Vita by Wilmade.com.

Her pattern was easy to read and follow.  I used Scheepjes Whirl in Mid Morning Mocharoo and a G/3.75 crochet hook.  I wasn't able to complete the pattern.  In order to have enough yarn with one skein, I only made 6 rows of the double crochet rows and then finished with the border.  If you are looking for an easy yet pretty pattern, give this one a try.  And it's free!
