Design 

Today’s free crochet pattern is the Dewdrop Sideways Shawl, this is a filet crochet pattern which only uses chain stitches and double crochet stitches, this is such a simple filet crochet design but it’s absolutely beautiful! This crochet shawl pattern is only a two row repeat so you wont need to keep referring back to the pattern which is great if you need your shawl worked up quickly! This is suitable for a beginner crocheter as the stitches and placement of the stitches are super simple. If you would prefer to have a photo tutorial it is included in the paid pattern. I worked my shawl using Cascade 220 Aran in the color Tender Greens and i think it really shows up those beautiful stitches which is perfect to wear to weddings or even just on a Summer’s evening.

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 and that is exactly what you want when blocking a shawl.

This yarn is classed as more of a high end yarn but when you are making a shawl that you want to last for years then you should go for a yarn that will stand the test of time and i really feel this yarn is perfect for that.

  • 100 grams
  • 220 yards /200 meters
  • 100% wool
  • This yarn is hand wash only / Cascade 220 superwash is machine washable

Buy the wool for this project HERE

Yarn Substitutions:

You can easily substitute the yarn i used for a more of an affordable yarn or one that is machine washable. Just remember acrylic yarn doesn’t wet block as well as wool but you could always carefully steam block your shawl.

Pin it for later!

Repeat rows 2-3 until shawl measures 65.25 inches approx finishing on row 3.

Fasten off and weave in ends. Move on to blocking.

Blocking:

Don’t be scared to really stretch the shawl when blocking as it really opens up the stitches and gives them definition and makes your shawl lay completely flat.

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 18 inch width x 68.5 inch length (or to your desired width and length) use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your shawl dry completely before unpinning.
