The Passage Shawl Crochet Pattern by Carolyn Currier is the best definition of handmade elegance. Its design features soft fabric with bold cabled accents running along the edge and across the middle. The colorway of the shawl delights with a superb gradient, which makes it even more appealing, but still keeps things understated and classy.
What Gives The Shawl Its Textured Look?
The pattern incorporates post stitches that create beautiful cable details. They break the uniform openwork texture of the shawl worked with single crochet and double crochet. It’s a fantastic and rewarding project for intermediate crocheters, but it can be made by those with less experience, too. If you’re a beginner, you can omit the cables and continue with the main pattern repeats.
What Supplies Should You Have Before You Start?
To work this gorgeous crochet rectangular shawl, be sure to use medium-weight yarn and a 5 mm hook. The designer recommends choosing Expression Fiber Arts Luster Worsted. It’s a luxurious blend of merino wool and lyocell, which lends the fabric softness and a beautiful sheen. The yarn is also available in self-striping skeins featuring smooth color shifts.
What Is The Finished Size Of The Shawl?
If you make this crochet shawl with the suggested materials, it should be 73” long and 24” wide (185.5 cm x 61 cm). Don’t forget to block your project after you finish it. A shawl of this size provides generous coverage and allows for different ways to wear it.
