Design
Today’s free crochet pattern is the Orla Triangle Shawl which is a super fun shawl to make which features only 2 stitches throughout the pattern! I hadn’t made a triangle shawl in quite a while and i actually really enjoy making them, triangle shawls always start off really quick because it looks like a mini triangle but after gradually increasing on every row it soon gets bigger!
You would have come across the Orla Shawl before which i have done in an asymmetrical shape and a top down version so i thought why not do it in a triangle and it come out absolutely beautiful. This is a filet crochet design which means it doesn’t use many stitches and how they are placed makes lovely ‘gaps’ in the fabric to give it a lovely design.
The actual pattern when you read it looks quite a lot to work up but when you are actually crocheting it you will notice there’s a lot of repeating of rows or just some slight changes on some rows so it is all very similar.
Yarn:
For this shawl pattern i used Rico Essentials Merino DK. This is a great value yarn with beautiful stitch definition that is made from pure merino wool. This merino DK wool is very versatile and lightweight which makes it the ideal yarn for your next crochet shawl project.
