The Al Fresco Shawl Crochet Pattern is a lightweight shawl that’s perfect for cool evenings. It has a beautiful drape that lays perfectly over the shoulders. Because of the curved shape it stays on the shoulders without a shawl pin or tying.

Thank you for all your beautiful patterns that you share with us. I would like to make this El Fresco Shawl, it is so lovely. I am wondering if it can be made larger, where would I make increases. It is darling. Thank you.

Hi! Yes, just continue the repeat until it’s the size you want 🙂
I don’t have Facebook. I want to win yarn
The things that I love most about summer are boats out on the ocean, or at the lake. Love beaches, pools, air conditioning please. It’s too hot for me.
