Who Is the Contrast Shawl Pattern For?
The pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters who love colorful designs. It requires you to know basic and tall stitches like double crochets and treble crochets. It’s worked with two strands of very thin mohair yarn held together, which makes things a little bit tricky. However, looking at the photos, I can safely say that the effort definitely pays off!
How Many Colors Do I Need for this Crochet Shawl?
The shawl has a very delicate, fluffy fabric produced by holding two strands of lace mohair yarn. The designer used Hobbii Diablo and Hobbii Diablo Glitter to create a beautiful visual effect.
To bring out the beautiful striped design, be sure to choose at least two colors, preferably in contrasting shades. If using the same yarn from Hobbii, you will need two skeins of each color.
How the Contrast Shawl is Crocheted
This crochet shawl is built up with every crocheted row, resulting in a triangle shape. You change the colors in the middle of the shawl, which creates a bold, asymmetrical look. The pattern also provides helpful photo instructions to help you complete your project with ease.
When working with a 4 mm crochet hook and following the gauge, you will get a lovely 175 x 66 cm crochet shawl. With its fresh colorway and feather-light fabric, it’ll make a stylish addition to your spring outfits!
