I have a gorgeous free shawl pattern to share with you today! The instructions show you how to crochet this cosy crochet wrap, that will brighten up any outfit. I think the mustard shade looks great with denim.
An easy enjoyable repetitive pattern for a crochet shawl in rows of double crochet, with contrast rows in a textured puff stitch that looks like Jewels.
Plus the latest updates from Annie Design Crochet!
Yarn used is a soft sports weight Alpaca. You can have fun choosing your own contrast colours for the ‘Jewel’ rows from your stash…you only need a small amount of yarn.
This design was originally published in I Like Crochet

Finishing
Weave in all ends. Soak your shawl in lukewarm water and gently wring in a towel. Lay project out to finished size and pull gently into shape. Pin in place and leave to dry.
Tassels
Make 3 tassels in any contrast colors of your choice. Use a book or notebook approx. 6” in width. Cut a 12” length of yarn and lay across top of book – this will be used to tie top of tassel.
Wrap yarn around book approx. 16-20 times. Using the 12” tie, knot top of tassel tightly. Cut tassel at opposite end. Cut another length of yarn and wrap around tassel 1” from top 5 times and knot ends together.
Trim if needed and attach to 3 corners of Shawl, sewing securely.
