All About Crochet Lace Shawls

Before we get into the lace shawl patterns, let’s talk about them for a second.

How is lace made?

In crocheting, lace is made by combining stitches in different patterns to form an open look, usually with holes. This is commonly done by using LOTS of chain stitches!

Of course, the chains are always separated by other stitches like double or single crochet, but overall chains are pretty essential for lace!

What yarn should I use for lace shawl?

One common misconception about crocheting lace is that you have to use lace weight yarn (a very thin, fine type of yarn).

But, this is not true! While some lace shawls ARE made from lace yarn, not all of them are.

I’ve even made lace shawls and other lacy items from DK (#3) or worsted (#4) weight yarn!

When choosing a yarn for your shawl, always refer to the pattern’s recommendation of course.

But I’m just sharing this so you know that there are many different ways to achieve a lacy item!

How difficult are lace shawls?

Lace crochet shawls are often easier than they look.

Like I mentioned before, lace is very often made from simple stitches—chains, sc, dc. So although it looks intricate, it is often very easy to recreate.

Of course, you should always check the difficulty listed in the pattern you choose before getting started.

If you’re new to lace, feel free to try these 4 types of lace for beginners before doing a larger project!

How do you crochet a lightweight summer shawl?

To make a lightweight crochet shawl, there are two guidelines you want to follow. First, make sure to use a lightweight yarn. And second, use a lacy stitch!

Now you can veer from both of these guidelines, but in general they will give you the best lightweight shawl results. In this pattern, I’ve chosen to use fingering weight yarn and a very open lacy stitch and the result is wonderful!

Save this pattern for later by pinning to your Pinterest Boards

This shawl has a somewhat funny story. First of all, I made the shawl 2-3 years ago and then went into my abandoned project pile because I didn’t have enough yarn to make it as long as I wanted.

I tried multiple things to remedy it, but nothing quite worked. Until recently, when I suddenly had a revelation: all I needed to do was add fringe and it would be the perfect length!

Purchase & Print this Crochet Pattern Right Here!

I took the shawl with me on family vacation this summer and got a ton of pictures…in 3 different locations! The sunset location definitely won out in the end, but I thought I’d share a few of the other photos too:

Video Tutorial:

Explanation: Meet the Sunset Shawl! This lightweight shawl is perfect for an evening with just a slight chill in the air. Made with gorgeous lace and decorated with fringe, you’re sure to make a statement in this shawl!

Materials:

• We Crochet Chroma Fingering Yarn (70% Superwash Wool, 30% Nylon, 396 yds / 362 m, 3.5 oz / 100 g) 2 balls in desired color way (the color I used is discontinued but there are plenty of other beautiful colors in this yarn!)
• Another matching fingering or lace weight yarn for the fringe (I used something unnamed in my stash)
• F/3.75mm crochet hook 
• Yarn needle
• Wet blocking materials (blocking mats, towel, sink, pins)

Gauge:

1 repeat of lace pattern wide and 2 repeats of lace pattern rows BLOCKED (see image)  = 3” long by 4.75” high

The stitch pattern must be stretched quite a lot to see it in all its beauty. The final shawl size is highly dependent on blocking. For this reason, blocking a swatch is very important!

To make your swatch:

Fsc 17. Follow the shawl instructions to work Rows 1-10 with the following modifications in bold.

Row 2: Ch 3, dc in next 2 dc. Ch 5, sk 5 dc, (dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2, dc) in next st. Ch 5, sk 5 dc, dc in next 3 sts. By working only 3 dc at the beginning (ch 3 counts as a dc) and end, you will work only 1 lace pattern across. By working up to 10 rows, you will repeat the full lace pattern twice. Block your swatch and then take your measurements.

Check out my articles on gauge and swatching for more on the topic.

Notes:

1. Ch 3 at beginning of rows counts as a dc.
2. You can use any fingering weight yarn to make this shawl. However, I highly recommend Chroma Fingering. It is a single ply yarn, so if you need to substitute, you will get the best results with another single ply yarn (rather than fingering yarn with a high twist). 

Measurements/Sizing: 

One size fits all: BLOCKED 20” wide by 60” long (including 10” of fringe)

Note: Because this shawl is so lightweight, the width is suitable for a variety of sizes. For example, even though I’m very thin, the shawl folds back on itself and still looks good. Now that said, you can easily adjust the length and width as the notes specify.

Abbreviations/Stitches Used (U.S.) 

Chain – ch

Foundation single crochet – fsc

Slip stitch – sl st

Single crochet – sc

Space(s) – sp(s)

Double crochet – dc

Repeat – rep

Skip – sk

Stitch(es) – st(s)

Beginning – beg

Written Instructions:

Fsc 81.

Row 1: Ch 3, dc in next fsc and each fsc across. (81 dc)

Row 2: Ch 3, dc in next 11 dc. *Ch 5, sk 5 dc, (dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2, dc) in next st. Ch 5, sk 5 dc, dc in next 12 sts. Rep from * twice more.

Row 3: Ch 3, dc in next 11 dc. *Ch 4, sk ch-5 sp, dc in next dc. [Ch 1, dc in ch-2 sp. Ch 1, dc in next dc] twice. Ch 4, sk ch-5 sp, dc in next 12 dc. Rep from * twice more. 

Row 4: Ch 3, dc in next 11 dc. *Ch 3, sk ch-4 sp, dc in next dc. [Ch 2, sk ch-sp, dc in next dc] 4 times. Ch 3, sk ch-4 sp, dc in next 12 dc. Rep from * twice more.

Row 5: Ch 3, dc in next 11 dc. *Ch 2, sk ch-3 sp, dc in next dc. [Ch 3, sk ch-2 sp, dc in next dc] 4 times. Ch 2, sk ch-3 sp, dc in next 12 dc. Rep from * twice more.

Row 6: Ch 3, dc in next 11 dc. *Ch 5, working into the MIDDLE dc of 5 dc in the lace work (dc, ch 2, dc, ch 2, dc). Ch 5, sk the rest of the lacy section and dc in next 12 dc. Rep from * twice more.

Rep rows 3-6 until you have a total of 85 rows—21 repeats of the lace section, OR you can repeat until the shawl reaches your desired length. Just make sure to end after a Row 5. You can also factor in the length of the fringe when you decide on length. 

Last Row 1: Ch 3, dc in next 11 dc. *1 Dc in each ch-2 sp, each ch-3 sp, and each dc across the lace section. Dc in next 12 dc. Rep from * twice more. (81 dc)

Last Row 2: Ch 1 (does not count as a sc) sc in each st across. (81 sc)

Finishing:

• Block your shawl to reveal lace pattern. I used wet blocking to ensure the shawl opened up beautifully and held its shape. You can use blocking mats to let it dry, or a towel. See this blog post for more information on blocking.
• Weave in all ends.
• Lastly, attach fringe! I used a lace weight yarn that I had in my stash that matched the colors in my main yarn. I did 8 strands of the yarn PER fringe, all 12-inch in length. These strands get folded in half to form 6-inch fringe, which I then trimmed to be about 5 to 5 ½”. 

Note: IF you use fingering yarn and not lace weight like me, 8 strands may look too thick. Experiment to see how many strands you need to form a nice fringe.

Note #2: If this sounds confusing, watch this how-to video (it is shown on a different pattern but the concept is the same!)

Lightweight Crochet Shawl Tutorial

While the lace in this shawl is pretty easy, I thought I would provide a few photos to help. All the photos in this tutorial are showing the swatch, not the full shawl. The lace is exactly the same, except it has fewer double crochets on either side.

Below you can see what row 2 will look like when you chain 5, skip 5 double crochet, and make the shell in the center. Then, for Row 3, you’ll expand the shell by making double crochets into each chain and dc from Row 2.

With lace rows 4 and 5, you’ll double crochet on top of the previous double crochets, but you’ll increase one more chain space in between them per row (2 chs for row 4, and 3 for row 5). The result is that the lace expands into a sunset-like pattern.

After one lace repeat is done, you have to make the starting center shell again to start a new repeat. Make this shell into the middle of the 5 double crochets from the lace repeat.

Conclusion

Lightweight crochet shawls are perfect for an evening out in the summer or fall. The Sunset Shawl features gorgeous lace columns separated by rows of simple double crochet. The end result is a beautiful lacy shawl that is sure to impress! I hope you love this shawl as much as I loved designing it!

Keep reading for the free shawl instructions, or purchase a print-friendly PDF version here.

So a few weeks ago I was at Joann’s getting yarn for a specific project…when I spotted a beautiful green-gold yarn sitting at the bottom of a clearance bin.

Was I planning on buying extra yarn?

No, of course not. But, when I saw KC Spark Yarn, I fell in love. I mean, who wouldn’t?

Take a look at the Eva Rectagular Shawl:

How do you crochet a rectangle shawl?

Rectangle crochet shawls are pretty much the easiest type of shawl you can make. They are made in one piece, either lengthwise or widthwise.

You just start off with a chain of your desired length or width, and then work back and forth in rows!

That’s right, there is no complex shaping involved with rectangle shawls. They are very easy to make.

And this pattern is especially easy – because it just uses chains, single crochets, and double crochets!

Rectangular crochet shawl dimensions

Probably the only tricky thing about crocheting a rectangle shawl is figuring out the dimensions.

When I got the idea for the Eva Shawl, I started researching rectangle shawl sizing, and let me tell you: there was not a whole lot of information out there.

As I looked at different patterns, though, I started to see some common themes.

From what I can tell, the most common size for a crochet rectangle shawl is 72″ long by 18″ wide. There are many patterns written to this size, and it seems to fit most people.

Now that said, I am all about having options. So I decided to size the Eva shawl with a small, medium, and large size.

The medium size is the closest to the standard (74″ by 20″). The instructions for this size are available for free below.

The small and large size are premium upgrades (so they are only available in the PDF version of the pattern).

Just to be clear: you can easily work from the free version and make adjustments as you need it. But if you do like the small or large size and you want to be able to follow a pattern to the T, I wanted to have that option available for you.

Easy Rectangle Crochet Shawl Pattern

With those things in mind, let’s jump into the shawl pattern!

• Pin this Pattern to your Pinterest boards
• Get the Premium Pattern with additional sizes
• Subscribe to my YouTube Channel for tutorials

Explanation: Meet the Eva Shawl! This thick yet lacy rectangle shawl will keep you both stylish and warm in the cool weather. The design features a beautiful thick/thin yarn with metallic gold running through it, making it perfect for Christmas!

Materials:

• KC Spark Yarn (99% acrylic, 1% polyester, 284 yds / 260 m, 7 oz / 200 g) 3 balls Olive Gold
• Or a similar #5 bulky weight yarn (see notes for more info)
• J/6mm crochet hook (or size to obtain gauge)
• Yarn needle
• Steam blocking materials (blocking mats, steamer or iron, pins)

Gauge:

3 ch-6 sps BLOCKED = 4” long

4 rows (1 pattern repeat of rows 2-5) BLOCKED = 2.5” tall

The stitch pattern must be stretched quite a lot to see it in all its beauty. The final shawl size is highly dependent on blocking. For this reason, blocking a swatch is very important!

See the photo below for an example of measuring this stitch pattern accurately.

Notes:

1. Ch 3 at beginning of rows counts as a dc.
2. Ch 1 at beginning of rows does NOT count as a sc.
3. If you can get your hands on some KC Spark yarn, I highly recommend using it rather than substituting as this yarn is very unique. If you do have to substitute, I would recommend choosing a soft #5 bulky weight yarn. Although KC Spark is marketed as a worsted weight yarn, it turns out more like a bulky weight project due to the thick/thin texture. 
4. If you prefer to ignore gauge since this pattern is not a garment that needs to fit, go right ahead – just know you will have to guess as far as the finished size of your shawl. You can adjust the length by using a multiple of 4 for your starting chain number. 

Measurements/Sizing: 

Small: 64” long by 17.5” wide (available only in the premium pattern)

Medium: 74” long by 20” wide 

Large: 84” long by 22.5” wide (available only in the premium pattern)

Note: the medium size is what I would call a “one size fits most.” It is the size I am wearing in the picture, but it could easily fit larger people as well.

If you are unsure what size to choose, try marking or folding a blanket or sheet to the various measurements and wrapping it around yourself.

You can also decide to choose a size based on length, and then adjust the width to your desired size by changing up the number of rows.

Abbreviations/Stitches Used (U.S.)

Slip stitch – sl st

Single crochet – sc

Row 5: Ch 3, dc in next dc. (3 dc in next ch-6 sp, dc in next sc) 54 times. 3 dc in last ch-6 sp. Dc in last 2 dc, turn. 223 dc

Rep rows 2-5 until you have 7 sections of mesh completed – for a total of 29 rows. Then, repeat rows 2-4 once more.

Next Row: Ch 1, sc in next 2 dc. (3 sc in next ch-6 sp, sc in next sc) 54 times. 3 sc in last ch-6 sp. Sc in last 2 dc, fasten off. 223 sc

Last Row: Ch 1, sc all the way across. Fasten off. 

Finishing:

• Steam block your shawl to the finished measurements. I had to block mine in 3 different sections because my mats were not long enough for the whole thing. Below is a picture of one section being blocked. After I steamed this, I took out the pins and moved 2 mats down to the other end to continue steaming the next section. 
• Weave in all ends.

Styling a Rectangle Crochet Wrap

Now that you’ve finished your shawl, let’s talk about how to style it! I came up with 4 different ways to wear this shawl (but I’m sure there are even more options too!)

1. The Simple Wrap

Probably the most common way to style a rectanglular shawl is by doing a simple wrap. Just throw the rectangle over your shoulders, leaving just enough draping down the front that you still have excess in the back after wrapping.

2. The Twisted Wrap

One fun way to mix up the standard wrap is by throwing a twist in! Just twist the rectangle before draping it over your shoulder, as shown below.

3. Hooded Scarf

I don’t have a picture for this one, but it is a great idea! This shawl is definitely long and wide enough to wear as a hooded scarf. Just place the center of the shawl over your head and drape one end over the opposite shoulder.

4. The Double Twist

Last but not least, if your shawl is long enough you can create a fun twist in the front! To get this look, start by draping the shawl around both shoulders so that it is even on both sides. Take one side and bring it up to drape over the opposite shoulder diagonally. Repeat for the other side, going over the drape just made.

Questions About Rectangular Crochet Shawls

Conclusion

So there you have it…a beautiful rectangle crochet shawl pattern that is perfect for an elegant evening or even a Christmas Eve service! Rectangular shawls are so fun to wear since there are so many styling options. I hope you loved this crochet pattern as much as I loved designing it!

I just love a good triangle shawl. They’re great accessories, and personally I love wearing them as a scarf around the neck.

When I started designing the Dragonfly Shawl, I had just one skein of Bernat Pop Yarn. Of course, I knew right away that it would be perfect for a shawl…but I didn’t realize until I started all the different ways it is perfect!

I’ll get more into that later. For now, meet the Dragonfly Shawl!

Bernat Pop Triangle Shawl

Here are all the reasons I LOVED using bernat pop yarn to make this shawl:

• It is a heavier weight yarn than your typical gradient yarn cake, so the shawl worked up SO fast.
• It didn’t disappoint in terms of colors. The fade between each one is so beautiful!
• Even though this yarn is acrylic, I was able to steam block it for an amazing opened-up result.

Pin this pattern to your Pinterest boards HERE or purchase the ad-free version HERE!

All About Bernat Pop Yarn

Let’s dig into this yarn a little bit more—because it really is a fun yarn to work with!

What can I make with Bernat Pop Yarn?

Bernat Pop! is a very versatile yarn. I would imagine you can use it for just about anything! That said, shawls would be my go-to project for this yarn. There’s just not a more beautiful project to make with a gradient yarn cake!

Other project ideas:

• Table runner – I think this would look amazing in Bernat pop!
• Crochet blankets – you could get such a beautiful striped effect if you made a blanket from this yarn. Just keep in mind you would need multiple skeins!

What is the Ply & Weight of Bernat Pop Yarn?

• Weight: 5 ounces/280 yards
• 4 Ply

This yarn 100% acrylic and you will get 5 ounces in one ball. It is labeled as a #4 weight yarn, worsted weight. However, in my opinion, it could almost be a light bulky weight.

Where to buy Bernat Pop! Yarn

This yarn can be found at most of your local craft stores – or you can buy it on Amazon for convivence sake below,

As mentioned before, I just used one skein of bernat pop for this pattern. However, if you decide to adjust the size of your shawl, you may need a second ball. It all depends on how large you want your shawl (personally, I prefer smaller shawls).

Another note: For the most part, I worked through the shawl without cutting the yarn. I love the look of imperfect stripes, as long as they’re not TOO obviousI think there was just one point where I did fasten off and join the next color so the stripe didn’t happen in the center of the row.

You can do as I did, or if you like perfectly uniform stripes, you can cut the yarn each time there’s a new color. It’s totally up to you!

Materials:

• Bernat Pop Yarn: (100% acrylic, 280 yds/256 m, 5 oz/141 g) 1 ball Foggy Notion

• 7mm crochet hook 
• Yarn needle

Notes:

1. Ch 1 at beginning of row does NOT count as a stitch.
2. I like my shawls smaller than most. The measurements below can be easily adjusted to be larger (instructions included in pattern) but you will likely need more yarn.

Long edge (wingspan): 47”

Row 9: Ch 1, 3 dc in first dc. Sk next dc, dc in next 9 dc. 2 dc in ch-3 sp, picot st, 2 dc in next ch-3 sp. Dc in next 9 dc. Sk next dc, 3 dc in last dc. Turn. (28 dc around lace)

Row 11: Ch 1, 3 dc in first dc. Sk next dc, dc across shawl until there is 1 dc before ch-6 sp. 2 dc in next dc. Ch 5, sk ch-6 sp, sc in sc. Ch 5, sk ch-6 sp, 2 dc in next dc. Dc across shawl until there are 2 dc left. Sk next dc, 3 dc in last dc. Turn. (26 dc around lace)

Repeat rows 10-14 until you have a total of 37 rows, or until shawl reaches your desired size. As I mentioned earlier, I like my shawls smaller than most people, so you may want to add more rows!

I ended on a Row 12, but you can really end on any row except row 14. The picot stitch in this row will make the edging difficult to do.

Edging: Ch 1, 2 dc in first stitch. Sk next dc, sc in next st. Sc across the shawl until you reach the ch-sps. Do 1 less sc in the ch-sp than there are chains. For example, since I ended on row 12 which has ch-4 sps, I did 3 sc in the ch-sp. Sc in next sc. Sc in the next ch-sp with the same number as before. Sc across until 2 sts left. Sk next st, 2 dc in last st. Fasten off.

Finishing:

1. Steam Block your shawl. Do not skip this step! Blocking will allow the lace to open up beautifully, and the whole shawl will have a wonderful drape.
2. After blocking, weave in all your ends!

Shawl Photo Tutorial

Are you a visual learned like me? Then you’ll love this tutorial! I’ll walk you through getting used to the stitch pattern of this shawl, step by step.

Step 1:

The first 3 rows are just some simple double crochet. You’ll start with just 5 and gradually increase as you add 3 dc to each side of the shawl.

Step 2:

On row 4, we start the lace. These photos show what it looks like to make your chain 6 spaces, with a sc in between.

Step 3:

Row 5 will be very similar except you’ll just do 5 chains instead of 6. Then, you’ll sc in the sc from row 4. To make up for the lost ch, you’ll also do 2 dc right before both of the ch-sps.

Step 4:

Rows 6-8 are identical, except they each decrease 1 chain each row. Here you can see all 8 rows finished!

Step 5:

For row 9 you’ll do your first “picot” row. This row closes up the lace dragonfly and prepares you to start a new one on top of it. When you get to the center of row 9, make 2 dc in the ch-sp; then chain 3 like before. Next, do a sl st in the second ch from your hook to form a picot.

Once you’ve made the sl st, ch 1 and make 2 dc inside the next ch-3 sp from the previous row.

Step 6:

For row 10, you’ll start the dragonfly lace over again. As you can see below, when you ch 6, you will skip 4 dc and then sc in the picot you just made.

There you go – that is the stitch pattern for the Dragonfly Shawl! From here, it just keeps repeating itself. The only difference is you will have more double crochet on either side of the lace as you go forward.

I hope you guys enjoyed this crochet pattern! I had so much fun designing it.

The post DRAGONFLY SHAWL – Free Bernat Pop Yarn Crochet Pattern appeared first on .

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.

I ran this event awhile ago because I really felt a need in the crochet community for more encouragement and interaction.

It was so much fun, that I decided to turn it into something you can join at ANY time!

You’ll be able to join a private crochet community, use up your stash, and best of all, make a new stylish shawl for yourself!

With that in mind, let’s talk details!

Is it Free?

YES! This crochet shawl-along is completely free. There are no fees to join. However, there IS the option to upgrade to a PDF pattern. This is not required, but may be a good option if it works for you. There will be no pressure to buy any patterns, as you can always work from the free versions on my blog!

Is this Shawl-Along the same as a crochet-along?

It is similar, but different in that you can join at any time. For most crochet-alongs, though, sections of the pattern are released slowly over the course of a few weeks.

However, this shawl-along is obviously way more relaxed. You’ll be able to choose from the already existing shawl patterns on my blog! No timeline, no rush. You’ll be able to work at your own pace and share your progress in the group!

The Community

Speaking of the group, let me tell you about what I’m most excited about! I’ve created a special Facebook group JUST for this shawl-along.

Only those participating will be able to join. A lot of people have already finished a shawl or even two, but if you’re just joining, we would still love to see your shawl! Hop on over there now:

Share with the Hashtag #dbcshawlalong

If you’re participating, be sure to share on Instagram with the hashtag #dbcshawlalong! (In case anyone is unclear, dbc stands for Desert Blossom Crafts). If you share your photos with this hashtag, there’s a good chance I will give you a shout-out either on my story or feed!

Shawl Patterns to Choose From

Now that we’ve covered the details, let’s get you started on choosing your shawl! I’ll make sure you know 1) where to get the pattern, and 2) what weight yarn you’ll need! These 6 shawls use a range from worsted, all the way down to lace!

1/ The Amore Shawl

One of the most popular patterns on my blog! The pattern calls for 1 cake of Lion Brand Mandala yarn, or you could substitute with another DK (weight #3 yarn!)

Get the Free Pattern HERE, or PDF Pattern on either ETSY or RAVELRY.

2/ Jadestone Wrap

My newest crochet pattern, and definitely a favorite of mine! This pattern calls for 1 skein of Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball Yarn.

Get the Free Pattern HERE, or the PDF version on ETSY or RAVELRY.

3/ Wave Shawl

This shawl features a super fun shell stitch and is worked from the tip up, rather than on the bias. It uses 1 ball of We Crochet Stroll Gradient, or any other fingering weight yarn!

Get the Free Pattern HERE, or the PDF version on ETSY or RAVELRY.

4/ Aspen Shawl

This pattern is super easy, and is the perfect Netflix crochet project! The pattern calls for sport weight yarn.

Get the Free Pattern HERE, or the PDF version on ETSY or RAVELRY.

5/ Helena Shawl

This shawl features the classic granny square along with some modern lace! It calls Red Heart super saver yarn, or any worsted weight yarn! I know we all have some of that in our stash.

Get the Free Pattern HERE, or the PDF version on ETSY or RAVELRY.

6/ Eva Shawl

Next up, a big and beautiful rectangle shawl! The Eva Shawl uses a bulky weight yarn and is super easy to make.

Get the Free Pattern or the PDF version here.

7/ Dragonfly Shawl

The Dragonfly shawl is another triangle pattern that features Bernat Pop! Yarn. The pretty lace stitch down the center looks like a dragonfly, making it extra unique!

Get the free pattern or purchase the PDF.

8/ Twist in Time Shawl

Last but not least, the Twist in Time Shawl! This one is made from lace weight yarn, making it much lighter. I will warn you though, there is no free version available. The only way you can make this shawl is through the PDF on ETSY HERE.

Let’s go ahead and sum up what you need to do to join this shawl-along:

• Choose Your Shawl Pattern (Above)
• Join the Exclusive Community
• Choose your yarn
• Make sure to share lots in the group!
• Post on IG using the hashtag #dbcshawlalong (dbc stands for Desert Blossom Crafts!)

I’m so excited that we can all do this together.

Happy Crocheting!

The post Crochet Shawl-Along: 6 Free Shawl Crochet Patterns For Your Wardrobe appeared first on .

I actually first made this shawl a long time ago. Back when I first started designing! I loved how the shawl turned out, but I never wrote down the pattern. Let’s just say that was before I learned the important lesson that you NEVER wait months after you design something to write down the pattern

Anyhow, looking back, I’m actually thankful that I didn’t publish the pattern back then because my picture taking skills were not the best! This month, I remade the entire thing—shawl, pictures, etc. and I love the result so much more!

With that in mind, let me introduce you to the Jadestone Wrap!

This wrap is named after the Jade Stone—mostly because the color yarn I chose ranges from a beautiful light Jade to a deep Jade green. Speaking of yarn, I used Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball. Let me just say, it is one of my absolute favorites for shawl-making! That is what it is designed for, after all. The color ways are just so beautiful. And the best part is (just like the name says) you only need one ball to make a shawl! Be sure to browse all the colors and decided which one you want to use below.

How is it Made?

Before we get into the pattern, let’s talk a few details about this shawl. It is beginner friendly—we’ll just be working back and forth in rows, using simple stitches (double crochets and chains!) Plus, I’ve made a special video tutorial that you can supplement the written pattern with if you’re a visual learner!

Can I Get Rid of the Ads?

YES! My ad-free patterns are available on both Etsy and Ravelry for a small fee ($3-4 usually). Why do I charge? Well, I put out a whole lot of free content on my blog, and that is there specifically to help you out. But when it comes to PDFs, it is a great support my handmade business to sell them at a low cost to you. It takes extra work to put the pattern into a printable format…and plus, the Jadestone PDF includes a stitch-chart that will be of great use! With all that in mind, be sure to check out the PDF version if you are interested.

(Can I tell you a secret? The PDF is on sale for $1 today only since it was just released! All you have to do is use the code JADESTONEDAY1).

The post Jadestone Wrap—Free Crochet Pattern + Video Tutorial appeared first on .

In case you haven’t noticed, I love lace. It is one of my favorite things to design. With the Aspen Shawl, my goal was to create a simple lace pattern in the body of the shawl, and then add an elegant lace showpiece around the edges.

I think it turned out pretty well! Plus, I absolutely love the hand-dyed yarn I used. It is sport weight yarn from Sapphires n Purls, and it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors and the springy feel of the yarn. Click here to see exactly what I used!

If you’ve never made a triangle shawl before, this one would be a great place to start! It uses simple stitches without—just double crochets and chains!

Another great thing about this shawl is that you can easily adjust it to be ANY size you want! There are only 2 rows of the repeating stitch pattern, and you can repeat them as many or as few times as you’d like.

This lace shawl features a repetitive and easily memorized lace stitch pattern—which by the way resembles hearts! If it looks too hard, don’t worry. The stitches used are mainly double crochet, chains, and slip stitches!

Crochet Heart Shawl Pattern Inspiration

I’ve always thought it was fun to make little shapes and designs in crocheted lace.

So when I was thinking about this shawl, I really wanted it to feature little lace hearts. I wanted to design a shawl that was perfect for Valentines Day. I hope you would agree I did well!

You could easily wear this shawl for a romantic valentines date night, or just out and about for the spirit of the holiday!

Overall, I’m so happy with the way it turned out. I hope you love the pattern as much as I do!

Heart Shawl PDF Pattern

If you want to download and print out this pattern, I’ve got you covered! The Amore Shawl is available as an ad-free PDF pattern in my Pattern Store here.

It is so important to remember that when we purchase from small businesses, we are supporting a real person or family! I appreciate every single order from you guys.

A Mandala Yarn Crochet Pattern

One last thing before we get started on the shawl: we have to talk about the yarn!

I used Lion Brand Mandala for my shawl, and I abosultely loved working with it!

Mandala is a DK (#3) weight yarn, so if you want to substitute yarn, choose one in this weight.

However, Mandala can be easily bought on the Lion Brand website or your local Joann, so you might just want to stick with it!

Crochet Heart Shawl FAQ

Can I use worsted weight yarn to make this heart shawl?

Yes, you could definitely try it. While I recommend sticking to DK weight because it will turn out a bit lighter, worsted weight can also work. I would just recommend staying away from “value” type yarns when making this shawl (like red heart super saver). Something like Caron Simply Soft would be a better choice.

How should I style this shawl?

You can style this shawl in any number of ways. First of all, make sure you wear it on Valentines Day! If it’s cold out, you can wear it around your neck like a triangle scarf. This is my personal favorite way to style it. But you can also drape it around your shoulders too if you prefer that look.

How do you make lace hearts?

This shawl makes lace hearts by using simple stitches. Tall double crochet form the sides of the heart, and a slip stitch is used to pinch the heart together in the middle. 

Conclusion

I hope you have enjoyed the Amore Shawl free crochet pattern. This shawl is great for a romantic evening, or a walk in the park. You can style it lots of ways but no matter what, it is sure to be a sure-stopper!

The inspiration for this shawl came kind of spontaneously. I knew I wanted to use up my Stroll Gradient yarn, so I started a shawl. As I crocheted, the design just flowed out! The great thing about this shawl is that it is very easily adjustable. You can make it as small or as big as you want! Plus, it only takes one skein of yarn to make! Keep reading to find out more about the beautiful yarn I used.

The Yarn

Okay, so lets talk about the yarn. Like I said, I used Knit Picks Stroll Gradient. This is an absolutely gorgeous yarn. It is 75% superwash merino wool, which makes it wonderfully soft and squishy. Plus, it comes in a bunch of beautiful colorways! Each ball has three complimenting colors that fade into each each other. I used the color called spacewalk. As you can tell, it is a lovely combination of blues and purples.

The post Wave Shawl—Free Crochet Pattern appeared first on .

Believe it or not, I did not make this entire shawl. The first white “granny” section was made by my Great Grandmother! My Great-Grandma Helen used to crochet granny triangles to go on the backs of her chairs. She started the first part of this shawl as a chair-backer, but never finished it.

So yes, I named this shawl “Helena” since it is a nickname of of the name Helen. It sounded the most natural out of all the Helen nicknames I could find!

After Grandma Helen died, my mom took the unfinished triangle and kept it. However, she wanted it to be complete. At the time, I was little, so I obviously didn’t know how to crochet. My mom gave it to my Aunt, who added a couple more white rows.  As I got older, it just got tucked away, unused.

Then, a couple months ago, I had a brilliant idea. What if I turned it into a shawl?! I could picture it in my head—a classic granny stitch, with some alternating rows of more modern lace. Plus, I could work it up really fast since half of the shawl was already made!

There’s nothing like the feeling you get when you see a design finished, and it looks exactly like you pictured it. It did end up taking longer than I expected, since I had to tear out the lace more than once trying to figure out the math—but the result was worth it, don’t you think?

I used Red Heart Super Saver for this pattern. I love this yarn because it is inexpensive, but not low quality. It is machine washable and dryable, so great for easy care. Plus, after it comes out of the dryer, it gets even softer than it starts out!

Notes: 

1. Shawl is one large triangular piece. Each row will have a center increase.

1. Turn at the end of each row, unless otherwise specified.

1. When turning, ch 3 counts as a dc.

Materials

• Worsted weight yarn, approximately 350 yards total

• Sample yarn: Red Heart Super Saver (here are other purple yarns that could look pretty in the lace section! Just make sure you choose one that is worsted weight.)

• J/8 crochet hook, or size to obtain gauge

• Yarn needle to weave in ends

• Steam blocking materials (for instructions, click here)

Finished measurements:

20” up middle shells, 33” between the top tips (see pictures under the finishing section for more details)

Gauge:

(note that gauge is not critical for this pattern)

First 4 rows of pattern = see schematic below: (not to scale, just for measurements)

Instructions:

Row 1: Ch 4, 2 dc in 4th ch from hook. Ch 1, 3 dc in same ch (4th ch from hook). Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as a dc, here and throughout), 2 dc in 1st st. Ch 1, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next ch 1. Ch 1, Sk next 2 dc, 3 dc in last st.

Row 3: Ch 3, 2 dc in first st. Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch-sp. Ch 1, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next middle ch-sp (middle shell made). Ch 1, sk next 2 dc, 3 dc in next ch-sp. Ch 1, sk next 2 dc, 3 dc in last dc. Turn.

(At the end of row 17: 32 3dc shells, plus middle shell). Do NOT turn.

The next rows (the lace, see picture) will all be worked with the RS of the shawl facing. In order to accomplish this, you will fasten off on the left edge of the shawl, and then join a new color on the right edge and continue with next row.

Row 18: with right side facing, join new color with a sc in first st on right edge of shawl. Sc in every dc and every ch-sp across entire row. (135 sc). Do not turn.

Row 19: With right side facing, join new color with a sc in first st on right edge of shawl. (Ch 7, sk 4 sc, sc in next sc) 13 times. Ch 1, sk 1 sc, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next sc. Ch 1, sk next st, sc in next st. (Ch 7, sk 4 sc, sc in next sc) 13 times.  (26 ch-7 spaces, plus 1 middle shell). Do not turn.

Row 20: With right side facing, join new color with a sl st in first st on right edge of shawl. Ch 5 (counts as a dc, ch 2), sc in next ch-sp. Ch 2, *4 dc in next sc. Ch 2, sc in next ch-7 sp, ch 2. Rep from * across whole row. When you get to the middle st, it will be exactly the same—you’re just working into the ch-2 sp instead of ch-7 sp. Dc in last sc. Do not turn.

Row 21: With right side facing, join new color with a sc in first st on right edge of shawl. (Ch 7, sc in the middle of next 4 dc shell) 13 times. Ch 3, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next sc. Ch 3, sc in the middle of next 4 dc shell. (Ch 7, sc in middle sp of next 4 dc shell) 13 times. Fasten Off. Do not turn.

Row 22: With right side facing, join new color with a sc in first st on right edge of shawl. Sc again in same sc. (Sk next ch, sc in next 5 ch. Sk next ch, sc in next sc) 13 times. Sk next ch, sc in next 2 ch. Sc in next dc. 3 sc in ch-2 sp, sc in next dc and next 2 ch. Sk next ch, sc in next sc. (Sk next ch, sc in next 5 ch. Sk next ch, sc in next sc) 13 times. Sc in last sc once more. (169 sc). Fasten Off. Do not turn.

Row 23: With right side facing, join new color with a sl st in first st on right edge of shawl. Ch 3, 2 dc in first st. (Ch 1, sk 2 sc, 3 dc in next sc) 27 times. Sk 2 sc, ch 1, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next sc (middle shell made). (Ch 1, sk 2 sc, 3 dc in next sc) 28 times (56 3 dc shells, plus middle shell). TURN.

Row 24: Rep row 17 (this is just a regular granny row).

Row 25: Ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1) sk next 3 dc, 3 dc in next ch-sp. (Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch-sp) across to middle shell. Ch 1, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in ch-sp of middle shell. (Ch 1, 3 dc in next ch-sp) across all ch-spaces. Ch 1, sk 2 dc, dc in last dc. DO NOT TURN.

Row 26: With RS facing, join new color with a sc in first st on right edge of shawl. Sc in every dc and every ch-1 space across. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Block to finished measurements. If you used acrylic yarn like I did, use a method called steam blocking. To learn how to steam block, click here.

When Blocking, you will want to take 2 measurements of the shawl

1. Measure up the middle shells, from the point to the edge. (20”).

1. Measure the length from each top tip (33”).

Once you do your blocking, throw your Helena shawl over your shoulders—you’re all done!
