This blog is essentially a scrapbook and easy reference of lace patterns which I have successfully attempted.
This project was made from using a free pattern from the Lion Brand website at
'Sweet Scallops Crochet Shawl'. I have copied the pattern below in case the original is ever pulled from circulation.
I did not use the recommended wool as it was not available. I used Morris - Paddington 6ply (80% Bamboo, 20% Merino - Colour Peach Sorbet) and crocheted it on a 3.5mm hook. Essentially you can use any wool or yarn you like, though the guage will change accordingly.
Here is an image of the shawl which I made:
The details are as follows:

GAUGE:
1 pattern repeat = 5½ in. (14 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the
gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials
specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in.
[10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger
size hook or needles.
