Crochet Summer Shawl
Learn to crochet this quick and easy crochet summer shawl. This pattern is accompanied with a step by step video tutorial so please scroll down to view.
This easy to follow crochet summer shawl is beginner friendly and constructed in a rectangle shaping which means there is no increasing whatsoever.
I can’t express to you enough how much I loved making this shawl. The pattern is a 6 row repeat but believe me when I say it is pretty easy to follow. After a few rows you really won’t need to follow the written pattern at all as it’s pretty easy and repetitive to follow and pretty much eyeball.
The pattern uses a cotton yarn because I wanted something that was perfect for spring and summer but you can definitely change things up by using a different fibre such as wool or acrylic for the cooler months. Oh my goodness can you imagine this shawl wrapped around your shoulders in the colder months later in the year and using a beautiful warm autumnal color!
YARN
**This post contains affiliated links for which I make a small commission. It is no extra cost to you but it does really help me out**
So the yarn I used for this shawl was Rico Design Creative Cotton Dk in the shade 002. It is a weight 3 or Dk cotton yarn that is both soft yet hard wearing. It comes in array of colors so I’m sure there is something for everyone.
MEASUREMENTS
The crochet summer shawl measures approximately 80 ” by 16″. For more length simply add more foundation chains but keep in mind your stitch multiple should be 11+5. For a bigger width you will do more repeats of the stitch pattern but you must end on row 7.
This crochet shawl is rectangular in shape. You will be making a very long chain and then crocheting a certain number of stitch pattern repeats to get to your preferred width.
GAUGE: not very important for this pattern.
