Design
Today’s free crochet pattern is the Hexie Sideways Shawl, i designed this hexagon crochet shawl years ago but for some reason i just never released the pattern but it has been on my to do list for a while now to redo it and release the pattern and here it is in all it’s glory! This beautiful shawl was an absolute dream to work up as it only uses double crochet and chain stitches and look how gorgeous it looks in that purple color. I have seen a few filet hexagon patterns in blankets before but had never seen it done as shawl and this why i wanted to create something unique.
This shawl is a filet crochet pattern so only two stitches to know throughout the whole pattern and only has a six row pattern repeat and it works up really quickly too!
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.
- 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 4-9 finishing on row 9 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 18 inch width x 65 inch length (or to your desired width and length) use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your shawl dry completely before unpinning.
