Best Yarn Choices for a Flowing Drape
Use aran weight yarn paired with a 6 mm crochet hook to get a 72” [183 cm] long x 24” [61 cm] wide stunning piece.
The sample shawl visible in the photos was made with Stylecraft Monet, which is a high-quality cotton yarn with great stitch definition and nice drape. However, you should keep in mind that cotton yarns tend to be heavier than acrylics. Instead, they offer good breathability, perfect for spring and summer accessories.
How To Crochet the Spindle Shawl
You will crochet this shawl from the bottom up in one piece, starting from the narrowest point and increasing its width with every row. Since the pattern features a simple two-row repeat, you can easily increase the size of your project by simply adding more repeats.
Once the body of your shawl is done, work the border using three different colors, changing after every two rows.
What Colors Were Used for the Spindle Shawl?
Are you in love with the exciting color composition of this triangle crochet shawl as much as I am? Without a doubt, because I can’t take my eyes off it! Its body features Stylecraft Monet yarn in Water Lilies colorway that gives a gorgeous marble-like effect.
As this isn’t enough, the shawl has an eye-catching zig-zag border in three contrasting colors for which the designer chose Rico Creative Cotton Aran.
