Filet crochet: from shawl to blanket
I have a question about whether the Zirka shawl pattern can be adapted into a rectangular shape, such as a scarf or a blanket.

• Tips for adjusting the size
• How to calculate yardage
• Color ideas to inspire you
• A quick tutorial for the X-sc stitch used in both patterns.
