Such Simple Shawl
To create this simple shawl, you only need to know how to work chain stitches and double crochets. It’s perfect for keeping your hands busy while you’re watching tv or waiting at the doctor’s office.
Yarn weight: Light
Suggested yarn: Lion Brand Mandala
About this pattern
This triangle shawl is worked top down and features double crochet stitches and chain spaces. It’s worked in rows, which means we turn our work at the end of each row.
The shawl is a simple repeat of 4 rows: 2 rows are simple double crochet stitches, 2 rows are chain spaces.
I decided to add tassels to each end of the shawl. You can easily change the size of your tassels (bigger, smaller) or no tassels at all. Or maybe fringes for a boho touch?
About the yarn
For this shawl I’ve used Lion Brand Mandala (color Unicorn). This is a popular self striping yarn from the USA. It’s 100% acrylic and with just one cake you can make a scarf or small shawl.
I used 2 cakes at the same time. When I ran out of the first color, I continued with the same color from the second cake. Then I continued till I finished the second color of that second cake and attached the first cake again. This will create more even striping with bigger color blocks. To save yarn or get a more randomly striped look, you can also crochet as usual and use only one cake.
