You can crochet this elegant shawl, called “Mona Lisa,” in two sizes using this pattern.
You can follow a written pattern or work from a crochet chart . Yarn usage depends on hook size, yarn weight, and whether you work tightly or loosely. It can vary significantly with smaller hook sizes (2.5, 3, 3.5) and 3-ply yarn. During test crocheting, some projects used 100 m
to 200 m less! Yarn usage in the example here:

• Large shawl = approx. 1,300 m – 4-ply yarn from Wollarchiv MJ was used
• Small shawl = approx. 1,000 m
• Crochet hook size 4

Thanks to the built-in drawstring (of course also crocheted! :-)) the pointed corner turns into a warmhood in no time!
