I'm just about done with this shawl I'm making as it is written, but I'm not happy with the top of it. It's a bunch of shell motifs that taper to a single stitch at the top and are therefore "pointed" on the top and I really dislike it. Does anyone have any suggestions on something I might be able to add to make the top so it's more flat? I'm hoping this question even makes sense. I attached a picture of the top of the shawl so you can see what I mean. I haven't weaved in the ends for this set of motifs yet, but it doesn't really change anything when I do.

I thought of that, but for each new motif you pick up stitches along the sides of 2 other motifs from point to point, so I'm not sure how well it would work. I'm not sure how well I'm explaining that, so I included a link to the pattern (it's free) so maybe it'll make more sense.
(Mod edit to add picture. Special thanks to Berroco for allowing us to post their photos on Our Unraveled.)
Pattern LinkThe Ostro Shawl is knit in three shades of Berroco Fiora® using a modular construction. Each "shell" is knit individually, but the following shells are attached as you go, so there is minimal finishing.Last edited by Cablegrrl; 07-27-2019, 04:36 AM.Cezanne Black Pellett on Facebook and MeWe

Thanks everyone. I'll give that a shot. I don't really want to rip out anything, so I'm just going to add a row of half shells in the next color in the pattern. Wish me luck!Cezanne Black Pellett on Facebook and MeWe

Additional question: since it is acrylic, will blocking it help with the "squished up" look it has? I've never made anything like this before, so I'm not sure.Cezanne Black Pellett on Facebook and MeWe
