FREE Pattern Friday - Aunt Sue's Mossy Shawl

I have 2 favorite aunts.  Decided that this year I would crochet them each a shawl.  Wanted the shawls to be rectangles, but was having some trouble finding free patterns I liked.  So I made up my own :)  
This is Shawl #1:

I used Lionbrand Woolspun in Moss Mix for this shawl.  It's a bulky (5) yarn.  Soft!  I really like this yarn.  It's 80% acrylic 20% wool. - 7 skeins

Use a 6mm (J) hook.

Special Stitches:

V-Stitch:  DC, ch1, DC in same stitch

Cluster: 3DC in the same space

ALTDC (alternate DC):  Love this!  It's an awesome way to start a new row without the CH3 gap.  Here are 2 great videos that explain different ways to do it, either one works great.
