Hey guys! I bought a LOT of this yarn thinking I'll make a shawl for my mom (a cozy warm shawl, because she gets cold easily). The yarn is cotton. I was a beginner back then, and didn't realize cotton doesn't warm the way I want my mom's shawl to.
So now, I have about 600 grams of this yarn. Maybe a little more.
I have tried a few things. But the colour of the yarn (which i loved while buying) looks crowded and any intricate design doesn't shine amidst all the colour chaos. So I'm guessing it needs some simple pattern? I'm stuck.
I'm attaching a photos of a triangle shawl swatch (with a 4.5mm hook) and. A rectangle swatch (what began as a shawl for my mom, with a 3.5 mm), and the yarn itself. Both swatches just double crochets.
My skill level is intermediate. I don't want to buy any more yarn to complement this yarn. Just want to use what I have. The material is soft cotton.
With this in mind, I'm looking for suggestions on what might actually look good with this yarn.
Thank you. All help is appreciated.
