Is The Virus Shawl Easy To Crochet?
The Virus Shawl Crochet Pattern by Julia Marquardt is accessible to both intermediate crafters and familiar beginners. You will find the repetitive stitching pattern easy to memorize and very intuitive. This makes it a fun and rewarding project to crochet at home or on the go while travelling by train or bus.
The shawl is worked from the center outwards, so you can easily achieve any size you like.
What Supplies Do You Need To Make The Virus Shawl?
This crochet triangle shawl pattern is perfect for gradient yarns. The multicolored palette harmonizes perfectly with the symmetrical stitch texture. The designer used Woolpedia Colors Cotton to create the sample visible in the photos, but any other fine cake yarn would be great too. Pair your light fingering yarn with a 3.5 mm for a beautiful drapey effect.
Does The Pattern Include A Written Guide?
Julia Marquardt offers a step-by-step video guide divided into 5 parts, which is free to follow and perfect for beginners. You will also find a full video tutorial for left-handed crafters (check the Ravelry link below). The written instructions are also available, but as a paid PDF pattern with a crochet chart.
