Crochet Shawl Spectacular

We have been busy working on our crochet garments and finishing our last few projects for the Love Your Stash CAL. This week we thought we would showcase some of our beautiful crochet shawls. Shawls are one of our favourite items to make. Miss C in particular loves them. There are so many gorgeous patterns and lets face it you can never have too many! 

Amazing Grace Angel Wing Shawl

I have made two of these stunning shawls and I just love the frilly border. The first one I made was with a gradient cotton cake and it is one of my favourites. The second one was for Miss C and I used sock yarn which was glorious to work with and used a contrasting cream border for a bit of pop on the edge. It does work up quite slowly as you are using a 4 ply yarn and by the end there are a lot of stitches, but the finished result is so worth it.

Courtship Shawl

We have made a few of these in different colours for ourselves and gifts. It is a well written easy to follow pattern and makes a beautiful  thick cosy shawl as you use an Aran weight yarn. We didn't do a gauge swatch, so ours didn't end up quite as large as the designers, but still lovely.

Screwball Ice Cream Shawl

This shawl has been my nemesis. The finished result is absolutely stunning and I believe it was worth it. I learnt a new stitch the bobble stitch and it really gives the shawl impact. Would I make another one......... I don't know!

Halo Shawl

It took Miss C a long time to find the perfect pattern for this magnificent Kid Mohair Yarn. It is an easy to follow pattern and looks amazing. She is very pleased with it after blocking, it really opened up.

Virus Shawl

This was the very first crochet shawl that Miss C made when first started crocheting two years ago at age 11. Looking back at it now, she can see many mistakes she made being a new crocheter. She has since made a couple more and really enjoys the pattern. It is the perfect pattern for gradient yarns. It is easy to follow, engaging and works up quickly.

Fragrant Shawl

The fragrant shawl was the first shawl Miss C made in a 4 ply cotton gradient cake. The pattern was easy to memorise, and didn't take away from the beauty of the yarn. It is a beautiful soft drapey shawl and gorgeous to wear.

Victoria Shawl

Miss C's Victoria shawl is one of her favourite shawls ever. It is Stylecraft Batik DK yarn in the Mushroom and Plum colourways. The pattern is gorgeous, it is easy to memorise, but keeps you interested the whole way through. She will most definitely be making more.

Such Simple Shawl

Miss C had a yarn cake and was looking for a shawl to make. She  was drawn to this one as it was the same yarn. She only had one cake so hers is smaller, but is perfect to wear around your neck as a neckerchief style. It is a simple easy to work up pattern.

Until next week
