Some projects seem to be finished much quicker than others and this beginner crochet shawl has been so quick!
I started this crochet shawl only last week after writing about projects I wanted to make for next Winter, and here’s the finished product. It beautiful, soft and snuggly – I love it! Maybe we’ll get another cold snap so I can use it before we really get into Spring.
I used this free pattern with Moda Vera Shiver yarn in a lovely plum colour from Spotlight. I used a size 15 hook. As I explained in my previous post, the pattern says to do single crochet but I did trebles. The pattern is just rows of the same stitch with an extra stitch at the ends of each row to gradually create a big triangle. My finished shawl has 86 stitches in the last row, and I didn’t do the final edging in the pattern.
I would definitely recommend this pattern for a beginner so if you want to get started check out my tips and tutorials for beginners.

Was it cold enough this past weekend to use it? It looks lovely.
CraftyMummy says
It was cold enough last night. My friend was visiting and declared it perfect. If I didn’t love it so much myself, I would have sent it home with her.

Are there written instructions for this beautiful shawl? I work better with step by step instructions. Thank you!

Hi Derrie Ann,
The free pattern is available over at Lion Brand Yarns: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/60516.html?r=1
Perhaps they would know about a step-by-step tutorial?
I couldn’t write one I’m afraid as I would think it would breach the copyright on their pattern.
