Pop Or Not Shawl crochet pattern (UK & US terminology) - digital download with printed option

Pop or Not Shawl is a versatile design for one or two skein shawl with a mix of textured stitches.

You will receive two digital files, one in UK crochet terminology and one in US terminology.  If you wish to purchase a hardcopy, make sure you choose your preferred pattern terminology (you will still receive both digitally).  

It can be crocheted with just 100g of 4ply yarn for the small size, or 200g for the large size.

One side is POP - the puff stitches are showy and pop out, wanting to be seen. The other side is NOT, with front post trebles and subtle puff stitches, creating strings of tiny butterflies down the shawl.

With simple stitch and section repeats, you will be able to crochet a shawl that is mindful, with just the right amount of challenge to keep you interested.

After wet blocking, a simple border is added to create an elegant finish to the shawl.

The pattern is both written and charted. A QR code link takes you to a pattern support page where I have photo and video tutorials for the special stitches used in the Pop or Not Shawl.

I operate a ‘pay what you can’ scale for my electronic/downloadable single patterns.  I usually charge £5 for these patterns and to encourage access for all crafters, these are now available on a scale of £3 - £7 and you chose what you can afford within that scale. 

Please note that this doesn’t apply to my hard copy patterns, which remain priced at £5 and come with an automatic digital download.

Pop or Not is an ten-page document.  If you are purchasing a printed copy, it is A4 sized with large, clear text, charts, supporting images and links to helpful tutorials.

Weights given are approximated to provide the best estimate for postage and packaging costs only.

Product materials, sourcing and PoM Rating

This product was originated and printed by me at Fay Dashper-Hughes Designs.  The pattern is printed on paper that is manufactured using wind power,100% recycled post-consumer fibre and carbon neutral.

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent.  No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage.  I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods.  I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
