Design 

Today’s free crochet pattern is the Flores Sideways Shawl which is a beginner plus crochet pattern – I would advise though if you are struggling a bit to understand where the stitches go, in the premium PDF version there is a photo tutorial to make it a lot easier for you to understand. This shawl is very similar to the Transpire Sideways Shawl and the only difference being is that the Flores sideways Shawl doesn’t have plain rows of double crochet stitches to break up the lace pattern. For this shawl I used Cascade 220 Aran in the color Fern and i think it really shows up those beautiful lacy stitches.

Premium AD Free PDF Pattern

This way you can print out the PDF version and pop it in to your bag and have it wherever you are without having to worry about if you can access the pattern online. Please note no multiples will be included in the PDF version.

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

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.

Repeat rows 2-6 until shawl measures 64 inches approx finishing on row 2.

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

Notes:

If you would like your shawl longer, carry on repeating rows 2-6 finishing on row 2 but please note you will need more yarn to do this.

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 16 inch width x 66.5 inch length (or to your desired width and length) use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your shawl dry completely before unpinning.
