Amelia Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern

 

The Amelia shawl is a lovely lacy design with only a two row repeat which is quite easy to remember so you can easily put your programs on or listen to some music and crochet away without much thinking. I added a last row to this as i felt you couldn’t really just end it on rows 3 or 4 and it have a finished look to it so i thought i might as well add an extra last row to give it a proper finished look which i think turned out great and it still flows with the pattern.

This pattern is written using US crochet terminology and i wouldn’t say it was a hard crochet pattern for beginners so if you are just starting out and know the basic stitches then you should give it a try.

Yarn:

For this shawl pattern i used Cascade 220 which has an AMAZING amount of different shades which i absolutely love when choosing yarn for projects. It is made with 100% highland Peruvian wool and is perfect for shawl projects as it blocks so nicely as it really opens up the stitch definition.

Notes:

If you would like your shawl longer, carry on repeating rows 3 and 4 but please note you will need more yarn to do this.

Blocking:

Soak finished shawl for 20 minutes in cool water and squeeze excess water out gently. Do not twist. Lay damp shawl on blocking boards and stretch to 65.5 inch width x 18 inch height (or to your desired width and height) use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your shawl dry completely before unpinning.
