Spring is almost here! Can you feel it? I definitely can here in Arizona. I was inspired by our gorgeous weather and pretty pastels to make this Spring Shawl Crochet Pattern. It can be worn over the shoulders like a shawl, or wrapped up like a triangle scarf. I love all the options with triangle shawls!
Let’s talk yarn! I used a DK weight superwash merino wool (I dyed this yarn myself). Any DK weight yarn would work great (acrylic, wool, or cotton)! I think cotton would be a perfect choice to give this shawl an even lighter feel.

Looks absolutely beautiful!
I will try it soon. Simple stitches but I have to figure a way to keep track on which stitch I will be on lol…
Enjoy your “littles” as they grow up so quickly
can you do this with knitting?
I have no idea. I have never tried knitting 🙂
Hi love it. Any chance on a video tutorial. Xxxx
Thank you!! No, just the written pattern ?
I just want to say a big thank you! I really like your patterns.
Thank you so much 🙂
This one looks AMAZING, definitely gonna make it. Just one question, and it might be a stupid one, but at the beginning you write that one need “Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Linen” – does linen refer to yarn?
I would think its speaking of color “linen”.
Hahah, nevermind, I miss read it – lol
Ok 🙂
I’m really eager to try this, but I’m confused by the instructions. We join the initial 4 stitches with a slip stitch to make a ring, but the next row doesn’t join together? We crochet back and forth in rows with the initial ring as a base?
Hi! Yes the shawl is worked in turned rows. Only the first row is worked into the ring.
I am currently making one of these in shades of blue for a gift. The giftee is on the plus size scale. Is there a specific way I need to increase it to make it larger or just keep going with the beige until it’s the desired length.
Just continue the repeat until it’s the size you want 🙂
This seemed to be an easy enough pattern to follow however, row 25 and 26 have me stumped. I have frogged 6 rows of work 5 times and still can not make this work. I have different number of stitch on each side. Trying to figure the stitch count is unreal. Thank you for the pattern…it is very lovely but I think i’m going to move on to something different that wont frustrate me as much. I’m no expert and enjoy crocheting. I just cant get the stitch count to even out on both sides.
Hi
Love the shawl! You mentioned 2 skeins of linen color and then listed the other colors used. Is it just 1 or 2 skeins of the other colors needed?
Thanks!
Just 1 of the other colors 🙂
