It has a beautiful fabric that is thick enough to keep you warm when the spring chill can still be felt outside. It’ll also do as a unique gift idea. Isn’t your best friend’s birthday coming up sometime? If so, I’m sure you already know what to get them.
What Yarn Weight Is Recommended for This Shawl Pattern?
For this spring crochet shawl designer suggests using worsted yarn. It will ensure your accessory is warm without too much bulk. If you prefer shawls with a lighter feel, you can go for DK or sport-weight yarn. However, this will affect the final size of your shawl, so you may need to work extra rows.
Can I Make This Crochet Shawl With Cotton Yarn?
Absolutely! Cotton is a great option for warmer months, but be careful. Some 100% cotton yarns can feel heavy or rough to the skin, especially before you wash them. Therefore, it’s better to choose yarn that you know well.
In such a situation, cotton-arylic blends are a perfect alternative, as they tend to be lighter and softer. The sample shawl seen in the photos was made with Caron Cotton Cakes, which is a high-quality blend of cotton and acrylic.
I strongly recommend you try out the versatile color palette of soft pinks and purples that will surely match many of your outfits!
How to Crochet This Spring Shawl?
This beautiful crochet shawl is worked in a triangle shape, starting from the narrowest point. To create its unique granny stitch texture, you will use chains, double crochets, and half double crochets.
