Larkspur is an Easy Crochet Triangle Shawl, starting at one tip and increasing on one side only. It is a beginner-friendly pattern that is easy to memorise and relaxing to make. The finished result is a beautiful classic shawl! It is perfect for warmer weather when you just need a little something extra. A simple asymmetric triangle construction with a pretty lace pattern makes this shawl fun to make for beginners and experienced crocheters too.

I published Hot Chili a few weeks ago, and you all loved it!  Hot Chili is crocheted with a skein of Fingering weight yarn. Choose one beautiful skein of yarn and finish in a weekend!

I decided to make a similar asymmetrical Easy Crochet Triangle Shawl using the same relaxing pattern.

Larkspur Shawl is crocheted using a gorgeous yarn I received in my Knitcrate subscription box a few months ago. I fell in love with the beautiful blue colour and the soft silk/merino yarn. This project was the perfect design! The yarn is Uru.yarn by Knitcrate – Silk DK Colorway: Enlightened – 85% Merino/ 15% Silk/ 100g/ 274m and I used the 2 skeins I received. You can use any lightweight/DK yarn and you will need approximately 600m.

Gauge

5 shells x 16 rows = 4” [10 cm] in pattern blocked

Gauge is not really important. To achieve a light drape tension, I suggest you make a swatch of the first 5 rows and see what hook size works best for you. I used a larger than recommended hook for my shawl.

Notes (read carefully)

  • Shawl starts at one end. Working in rows, increasing each row on one side only
  • Ch 2 at beginning of a row does not count as a st
  • Ch 5 at beginning of a row counts as 1 tr, ch 1
  • The shawl can be made larger or smaller by working more or fewer pattern repeats. This will alter the amount of yarn required.
  • Includes written instructions and a crochet chart
  • Written in US Crochet Terms

Shell – [2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc] in same sp

V-Stitch (v-st) – [1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc] in same sp

Finishing

Weave in all loose 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. Take your time pinning finished shawl, and use a pin on each ‘point’ of the shells……it will make a huge difference to the finished piece! Add Tassels for a finishing touch if you wish.
