Yarn
This beautiful shawl uses one skein (400m) of fingering weight yarn and a 4.5 mm crochet hook. Fingering weight yarn (4 ply) is a delicate and lightweight type of yarn, which makes it perfect for creating crochet lace patterns.
This pattern is very versatile and you can make this shawl bigger by using more yarn and adding more rows. You could also use a heavier weight yarn (light worsted/DK) and a matching hook and it would work beautifully!
Blocking your shawl is very important to open up the pretty lace stitches, so make sure you don’t skip this step.

Only basic stitches are used in this shawl but some concentration is required until the row increases are established.
Materials
Green Elephant Yarn Fingering Weight /425m/4 ply Sock: 75% SW Merino Wool/25% Nylon/100gr) in colourway Under the Sea
A small amount of a contrast yarn for tassels
4.5mm crochet hook, or whatever hook size gives a loose tension
You can use 425m of any fingering weight yarn or yarn weight of your choice and matching hook.
Measurements
Shawl measures 66 in [168cm] wide x 25 in [63.5cm] depth
Notes
- The main body is worked in one piece from bottom-up, increasing on each side until a triangle is made.
- The shawl can be made larger or smaller by working more or fewer pattern repeats. This will alter the amount of yarn required.
- You can use any Fingering weight yarn to achieve a similar effect
- Includes written instructions. Pattern written in US crochet terms
- Gauge is not important. To achieve a light drape tension, I suggest you use a hook one size larger than recommended for the yarn you have chosen.

Tassel Instructions
Make 3 tassels as follows:
Using a book approx. 6-8” 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 about 30 times (depending on thickness required). Using the 12” tie, knot top of tassel tightly. Cut tassel at opposite end. Wrap another length of yarn around tassel 1” from top approx..5 times and knot ends together. Trim if needed and sew securely to 3 corners of shawl.

Gr. Arina
That is correct!
I have attempted this scarf at least six times and for whatever reason it does not work.
I get up to row five and the piece looks weird.

Hi Carmen,
I did not see the video until a couple of days ago and it looks like I can understand it. I will definitely give it another shot. Thanks for this.
Happy Easter
I ended up being inspired by this lovely sure and created my own using five ply wool and a size 6 crochet hook.
The wall is 100% lambs wool and it is sourced from my local Bendigo woollen mills.
Australia.
