Crochet pattern triangular shawl for any yarn



(To purchase/download, please click the image)


For this triangular shawl for all seasons, you can basically use any yarn you like – the thinner, the more elegant. Size: any.

For the size made here, approx. 70 cm x 162 cm, I used 350 g Schachenmayr Cotton Bamboo, 50 g – 120 m, needle size according to the label 3 – 4, here crochet hook 4.0. I would not recommend thicker yarn for visual reasons. I decided not to block the shawl for myself, because then the curves of the shell pattern stand out better – but that is a matter of taste.

These crochet skills are required:
chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, front post double crochet (is explained).

The PDF pattern is illustrated over 15 pages, but it is not a crochet course. A link/video tip for a crochet course and more is included.

The PDF includes 

• in the first part, detailed instructions with corresponding illustrations,
• in the second part, a shorter version, also illustrated, and
• last but not least, a scarf/shawl variation in short form.

Suitable for beginners.

Since the weekend is going to be warm (at least here), I suggest a wearable and easy project, maybe also made from cotton so you don’t get sweaty underneath it when you’re sitting on the balcony or in the garden. Why not knit yourself a stole that you can drape around your shoulders on cool summer evenings?

You can find the pattern here.



It is knitted in brioche stitch. That’s not hard at all. If you’ve never done it before, there’s a photo tutorial in the pattern. I really like this stitch because it feels so wonderfully soft.

Or how about a bookmark for the book you’re reading outside in the garden? It’s very quick to knit from a small leftover bit of cotton, and then you can close the book anytime when you don’t feel like reading anymore.

You can find the pattern here.
