About the pattern We tried to make the pattern as simple as possible, taking beginners into account while designing. There are only 10 rows that need to be repeated four times. That’s all!

And even those 10 rows are quite simple. Five rows are double crochet stitches, the other five rows contain a bit more variation. Simple and fun to make with a beautiful outcome.

As we had some yarn left, we decided to make matching tassels to add to the ends of the shawl. Personally I think this gives the shawl a final touch!

Counting 7/9

The table below shows the rows you should repeat and the amount of stitches you should have at the end of each row.

Tassels Tassels are easy and fun to make. Personally I think this gives the shawl a final touch.

1. Wrap the yarn around your hand until you find it thick enough. With a 4-ply cake (fingering weight yarn) 45 times should be enough. Cut two more strands which are about 40 cm / 16″.

2. Fold one strand around one of the two ends. Tie a tight knot.

3. Cut the yarn on the bottom (opposite of your knot)

4. Fold the other strand around the top of your tassel, about 1 cm from the top knot. Secure tight.

5. Trim the bottom
