The Parisian Stroll Shawl crochet pattern by Jennifer Dickerson delights with delicate detail and a stunning ombre colorway. It makes a gorgeous crochet accessory that will add style to any of your outfits. It comes in a lightweight fabric perfect for the spring weather when you still need some extra warmth.
Is the Parisian Stroll Shawl Pattern Beginner-Friendly?
This crochet shawl will make a great choice for beginners who would like to add a beautiful lacy stitch to their repertoire. Prepare to work it with a lacy fan stitch, with which you will create a fabulous openwork texture.
The pattern calls for a 4 mm crochet hook, making this project even more accessible for those with little experience.
What Yarn Works Best for This Shawl Project?
You must admit that the ombre colorway makes this shawl truly stunning! Did you know that you only need one color-changing cake yarn to produce that effect? The designer used Hobbii Sultan yarn in Pink Dragon Agate colorway.
Any other self-striping yarn in fingering weight, like Hobbii Twister or Hobbii Dahlia, will give the same beautiful results. It’s not only a great way to add smooth gradient color changes but also to show off a wonderful stitch pattern.
Can I Make This Crochet Shawl Longer or Wider?
When keeping an even gauge, you should end up with a 13” x 70” crochet rectangle shawl. However, if there is such a need, you can adjust your project to any size.
To make it longer, simply repeat rows 2 and 3 until your work gets the length you want. For a wider or narrower shawl, you need to chain a multiple of 8 + 2 stitches. The original sample was made with 82 stitches in the foundation chain.
