Last week i released the Eleanor Triangle Shawl which you can find here! This is basically the sister shawl of that one just in a different shape, both are very open and lacy and perfect for the summer with their open mesh design, both very versatile as you can wear them draped over the shoulders or wear them like you would a scarf.
As i mentioned above this is a very easy crochet pattern so it is completely suitable for a beginner crocheter, just make sure you pay attention to your ch5 loops and don’t miss any!
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. You will need 440 yards for your shawl.
- 100 grams
- 220 yards /200 meters
- 100% wool
- This yarn is hand wash only / Cascade 220 superwash is machine washable

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.
- Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted
- Lion Brand Heartland Yarn
- Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice
- Cascade 220 Superwash – Superwash yarns will stretch more than other yarns

Notes:
If you would like your shawl longer, carry on repeating rows 6-7 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 64.5 inch width x 37 inch height (or to your desired width and height) use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your shawl dry completely before unpinning.
