Crochet Autumn Shawl
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick (acrylic-wool blend)
- Hook: Size N (10mm)
Pattern Overview:
Pattern Features:
- Small openings for insulation, fringe accents, and a triangular shape.
Size:
- One size fits all
Shawl Pattern:
Starting the Shawl:
- Chain 2.
- This is your foundation chain.
Row 1:
- Perform a stacked single crochet in the first chain to count as a double crochet.
- Make two more double crochets into the same chain.
- (Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through the first two loops on your hook, then yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops.)
- Chain 2.
- Do three more double crochets into the same stitch.
- You will have created the first triangle shape.
Continuing the Shawl:
All subsequent rows:
- Start each row with a stacked single crochet (which counts as one double crochet).
- (Insert your hook into the stitch, pull the yarn back (two loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops.)
- In the first stitch, make another double crochet.
- Perform one double crochet in each of the next stitches until you reach the chain-2 space.
- In the chain-2 space, make two double crochets, chain 2, and then two more double crochets, all in the same space.
- Continue with one double crochet in each of the next stitches until the end of the row, where you'll make two double crochets in the final stitch.
- Turn your work.
Pattern Growth:
- The pattern will grow incrementally with each row due to the increases at the start and end of the rows, and at the center chain-2 space.
- With every row, your shawl will increase by six stitches (3 on each side), maintaining a symmetrical triangle shape.
Finishing the Shawl:
- Finish your shawl after 22 rows or continue for a larger size. Ensure each side has an equal number of stitches for symmetry.
Add Fringe (optional):
- Cut 200 pieces of yarn, 16 inches long.
- Wrap yarn around a notebook and cut to get even pieces.
- Group 3 strands per fringe, attaching them to every other stitch on the shawl's edge. Use a hook to pull the strands through and tie a knot.
