This is another pattern for a beautiful, airy shawl that will be a perfect shoulder wrap for a cool summer evening or a stroll around town. The pattern by Carmen Heffernan is easy to work up, and it’s a quick one to make. You could easily churn this out in a couple of sittings. The blue/green variant is particularly attractive, but you are welcome to accessorize it with your wardrobe.
What Stitches Are Used in the Flora Shawl?
Relaxing and engaging, this crochet shawl pattern has a simple stitch repeat that results in an elegant lace effect. Key stitches used are single crochet, double crochet, and chain spaces. These will work together to create a fabric that is lightweight and drapey. The shawl’s asymmetric shaping is created by increases placed strategically for a modern, unique look.
Best Yarn for a Light and Airy Shawl
The pattern calls for a light fingering yarn to produce a nice, airy texture. The designer went for Green Elephant Yarn, which is made from 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon. Of course, any other fingering weight with the exact yardage can do the job just as well. Choose a gradient or variegated yarn for beautiful color transitions.
Can I Add Beads to the Border for Extra Elegance?
Adding beads to the border can elevate the Flora Shawl even more. If you consider incorporating these small embellishments, then you should scatter them across the final edging row so that they add to, rather than overshadow, the pretty lace design.
Choose glass beads in a shade close to your yarn color and insert them with the help of a small crochet hook or a bead threader.
