Crocheting a Shawl - Wrap it around you on a chilly summer evening, wear it on the beach as a dress over your swimsuit, or drape it over your shoulders as a fashion accessory; nothing is as versatile as a shawl! Shawls are super functional and complete your outfit. Want to make your own cute shawl? Read on for the free pattern!
A shawl is perhaps the most versatile piece of clothing there is. Because of the many ways you can wear it, it’s an essential part of your wardrobe. This light and stylish design looks great over a dress or paired with a pair of cool jeans. It’s made from Stylecraft Special DK, a 100% Acrylic yarn available in no fewer than 92 different colors. Choose your favorite color(s), get started, and create your own unique shawl! We crocheted the Stylecraft Special DK shawl in two summery shades: Duck-egg (color number 1820) and Vintage Peach (color number 1836). These mint and romantic pink hues make the shawl extra stylish.
What do you need to crochet the shawl?
- 5 balls of Stylecraft Special DK in the color Duck-egg (1820) or Vintage Peach (1836).
- 4 mm Crochet Hook
