Design
I’m quite excited about the Harlyn Shawl as it’s not very often i do intermediate crochet shawl patterns as i like to make them easy for everyone but when i come across the stitch i just knew i had to work it up in a shawl! Like other shawl patterns of mine it has a lovely light and lacy look to it, there’s plenty of spaces which makes it perfect in warmer months.
Now let’s talk about why it’s an intermediate pattern, on rows 2 and 6 not only are you crocheting forward like you normally would but you also have to skip stitches backwards to then crochet in stitches that have been previously worked, normally i would say just give it a go as a beginner but with this pattern i will be honest you might get yourself in to a hot mess BUT that’s not to say you shouldn’t try it in the future when your crocheting has come further along so just save the pattern on Ravelry, Pinterest or Etsy and come back to it at a later date.
For you intermediate crocheters out there you are going to LOVE this shawl pattern! It is super quick to work up and the stitches are stunning to be honest i don’ think my pictures have given this stitch justice! As i mentioned earlier you will be working forwards and backwards on rows 2 and 6 and that’s why i fell in love with this stitch because it gave me the chance to try new stitches i don’t normally 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 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 880 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.

Repeat rows 2-7 until shawl measures 15.5 inches (approx) finishing on row 3.
Fasten off and weave in ends, Move on to blocking.
Notes:
If you would like your shawl longer, carry on repeating row 2-7 finishing on row 3 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 70 inch width x 19.5 inch height (or to your desired width and height) use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your shawl dry completely before unpinning.
