This is my second shawl for the 10 Shawls in 2010 Challenge. When I choose Haruni, somehow I didn’t quite realize I was joining a wave of other knitters who were knitting it. It has been the #2 popular pattern on Ravelry lately.

Pattern: Haruni by Emily Ross
Yarn: Knitpicks Bare – Merino Wool Fingering Weight
Needles: US 5 Circulars
Notes: Another wonderful free pattern! Reading the instructions for the charts can be a little bit trickier than other patterns, but it’s really not a big deal. My only modification was to do another full repeat of the first chart so I had 14 stems instead of 12.

Not being proficient in crochet, I found a video on youtube that showed me how to hold the crochet needle and yarn – that helped a lot since even though I could crochet a chain, I had no idea how to hold the yarn/needle to do it efficiently.

By weight I used 626 yards of yarn. That’s 1 full skein and 40% of a second skein. Blocked to 54 inches wide and 29 inches deep.
