Whoever is looking for a breathtaking accessory, this gorgeous wrap is sure to wow! The Drifting Leaves Shawl by Gootie (Agat Rottman) features a wonderful design with a solid top section and intricate bottom lacework. That’s not all! The lacy pattern creates detailed leaf motifs running up and down, adding incredible texture and style. Would you like to make it part of your wardrobe? No doubt about it!
Can You Adjust The Width Or Length Of The Shawl?
Yes, you can. The pattern allows you to modify the length and width of the shawl. You can do so by working more or fewer rows for the body part and lace section. The sample visible in the photos measures 58” x 18” (147 cm × 46 cm) and provides ample coverage. It will pair beautifully with fancy dresses, tops, and skirts.
Which Yarn Gives This Shawl A Soft And Flowy Look?
If you want your crochet summer shawl to have a nice drape and soft fabric, choose cotton or bamboo yarn. These fibers are natural and will provide good breathability. They will also help you achieve beautiful stitch definition.
The photographed project was made with Rosários 4 Caravela, but you can also consider using Knit Picks – Comfy Fingering and Knit Picks – Samia.
Who Is This Shawl Pattern Suitable For?
The Drifting Leaves Shawl crochet pattern uses both basic and advanced stitches, which is why it’s recommended for intermediates. Its body section is worked with double crochets only, resulting in a solid fabric.
Things get a little more tricky where the lacings start. Here, you will use wide V-puff stitches and stacked single crochets to create textural leaf details and open texture.
