It’s autumn and it’s cooling off quickly where I am. So, I decided I was overdue for a cozy wool shawl. This is a pattern I designed to be warm, easy, and versatile.
Skill level: Easy
Duration: ~6 hours
Knowledge Required & Abbreviations Used (US terms):
- Chain (ch)
- Double Crochet (dc)
- V Stitch (v st)
- Stitch (st)
The tools you will need for this project are as follows (US terms):
- ~3.5-4 skeins of The Petite Wool from WAK or another bulky weight wool
- 6 mm hook (or appropriate size for your yarn)
- Scissors
- Darning needle
- 4 Buttons
Tips:
- Asterisks (*) indicate a section of the pattern that will be repeated within the row
- Square brackets ([]) indicate a section that I have additional notes for; notes will follow in regular brackets
- Hyphens (-) indicate multiple actions happening in the same stitch or space
Let’s get started!
To begin: Ch 50
Row 1: In third ch from hook, *[v st] (a v st is dc-ch1-dc), sk 2*, repeat to end of row, ch3, turn
Row 2: *V st in each v st*, repeat to end of row [including the turning ch] (By placing a v st in the turning ch at the end of each row, you will increase both the width and length as you add rows), ch 3, turn
Row 3-38: Repeat Row 2, [swap colours as you desire] (I swapped at the end of each skein)
Final Touches: Add 4 buttons along the edge (see image below):
To wear: Drape however you please, and use the buttons to tack it in place 🙂
