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 DK weight yarn. You will need 500 – 600 metres of a lightweight worsted yarn.
You can use any weight yarn and matching hook you have on your stash.
Skill Level
Only basic stitches are used in this shawl but some concentration is required until the row increases are established. Stitches included are dc and tr.
Materials
2 skeins of Uru.yarn by Knitcrate – Silk DK Colorway: Enlightened – 85% Merino/ 15% Silk/ 100g/ 274m
5mm crochet hook
You can use approx. 500 – 600m of any lightweight/DK yarn
Measurements
Shawl pictured measures 70in [178cm] on the longest length at the wingspan, 56in [142cm] along the bottom and 48in [122cm] on the shortest side after blocking

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

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.
