Introducing Wild Teasel, a Free crochet pattern for a large asymmetric shawl using two balls of a gradient yarn. I used two contrasting balls of Stylecraft Dream Catcher DK, a lovely gradient yarn with amazing bright colours!
You could use any gradient yarn of your choice to make this free crochet pattern……or have a look through your stash.
Plus the latest updates from Annie Design Crochet!
Crochet Triangle Shawl Details
This is a simple and easy crochet pattern which draws the eyes to the vibrant colours, and the cute tassel fringing totally finishes it off.
The pattern uses basic crochet stitches. You will only need to know the double crochet and the single crochet stitch.
You will carry your yarn up the side as you crochet so you only have to weave in two ends when you’re finished.

Notes
- In US crochet terms with UK translations given in abbreviations
- Shawl starts at one end. Working in rows, increasing by 2 sts every second row, on one side only, until desired size is reached
- Pattern is a two row repeat
- On straight side, ch2 does not count as a st
- 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. Make a swatch of the first 8 rows to test your hook size.
- Sample shawl uses two balls of yarn recommended, with a small amount left over.
- You change colour every 2nd row, carrying the yarn up the side of your work.

Greetings,
Such a colorful beautiful shawl! Triangle shawls don’t suit me. I’m wondering, how to make a straight rectangle shawl with the stitch pattern? Thank you so much.
Ms Belinda
Hi! Sorry for the delay. You could certainly use the repeat pattern to make a straight shawl! Just crochet a long chain and stop when you have the width wide enough. Make no increases.
