The Perfect Shawl For Fall

The Perfect Shawl For Fall

Antoinette Fortier

When the evening starts to get a little chilly you will be happy you crocheted this shawl. I used left over yarn. If you knit or crochet you can do the same or if you do not knit or crochet you can get scrap yarn from friends who do knitting. It would look pretty in yard the shades of fallen leaves, smoky pinks, reds, oranges, and yellows with shades of brown mixed in.

Materials Needed: about 600 grams of knitting worsted yarn. I used scraps from other knitting and crochet projects, 6.5 mm crochet hook, scissors. CH 5 - Row 1: 3 dc, ch2, 3 dc ch1, 1 dc into first ch, ch4 twin. Row 2: 3 dc into first space, ch2*, 3 dc, 2 ch 3 dc into middle space*, ch 2 3 dc into next space, ch 1, dc into 3 rd chain of end chain, ch 4, twin. Row 3: 3 dc into first space, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch 2 space, ch 3 dc, ch 2 3 dc in middle ch 2 space, 3 dc in next ch 2 space, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch 2 space, ch 2 3 dc in last chain space, ch 1, dc in 3 rd chain of end chain, ch 4 twin.

Repeat Row 3 having one more 3 dc groups and one more chain 2 on each side of middle group and one more on each end. Repeat until shawl is the desired length and width. How many rows you crochet depend on the size and height of the person you make the shawl for. Your shawl will keep you warm and cozy.
