This Piper Shawl crochet pattern by Catalina Ungureanu is a real knockout! Elegant, simple, and light – that’s the best way to describe it. It comes in a wonderful design and color palette that you will love to add to your summer outfits. Would you like to give it a try?
Modern Lace Meets Timeless Comfort
The shawl measures 133 x 66 cm and will do as a stylish cover-up for your summer dress or crop top. It has airy and super-thin fabric that will work well on hot days when you want to have your shoulders covered and protected from the sun. It will also add that perfect layer of warmth when you are out on cool summer evenings.
What Makes This Pattern Ideal for Intermediate Crocheters
This crochet shawl pattern is perfect for intermediates who would like to take their lace crochet skills up a notch.
It uses a mix of basic and post stitches as well as some special techniques like granny stitch, picots, or V-sitches, which together result in a beautiful mesh-like design. You will also practice crocheting with a lace crochet thread paired with a small hook.
Yarn and Hook Choices for Perfect Drape and Definition
To work up this lace crochet shawl project, you will need thread and a 2.50 mm crochet hook. The designer recommends using Hobbii Rainbow Lace, a high-quality mercerized cotton thread. It’s a perfect choice for making a lightweight summer accessory.
Can I Make This Shawl with a Single-Color Yarn?
If dealing with different colors means too much fuss for you, of course, you can stick to just one shade. The result will be an elegant accessory with an ultra-minimalist design.
However, to make the most of this pattern, I recommend you play around with two or three colors. A simple colorwork will highlight individual stitch sections, making your shawl even more beautiful!
