What Yarn Will Keep this Shawl Cool for Summer?
Sport weight yarn will definitely come in handy for working up this triangle shawl crochet pattern. If you want your accessory to be soft, comfy, and breathable, go for cotton or semi-cotton fiber content. The sample featured in the photos was made with Hobbii Twister Solid, which is a 55% cotton and 45% acrylic blend.
If you adore romantic vibes, the solid shade of pink (color no. 113) should suit you perfectly. Otherwise, feel free to make your shawl in any of your favorite colors.
How Much Yarn Do I Need For a Full-Size Wrap?
For a big crochet summer shawl measuring about 150 x 74 cm without fringe, you will need 3 skeins of Hobbii Twister Solid (437 yards/400 meters per skein). Depending on the tension and yarn used, you might need more or fewer skeins. The pattern also requires some yarn for the tassels.
