#40 Simple Crochet Shawl

Here is a wonderfully versatile crochet shawl pattern. Based on a simple combination of double crochets and chain-1 spaces worked using a big crochet hook, it can be made using most any kind of yarn. Here, it is shown in a whisper soft kid mohair yarn in two shades of lilac for a truly elegant result. The kid mohair is so light and airy, the shawl can be worn as a very pretty neck warmer, as well as a delicate shawl.

This pattern would be equally stunning in a fancy ribbon yarn or a hand-painted wool or silk blend yarn. The possibilities are endless. It also works up quickly on the big size hook. A great crochet pattern for beginners looking to make something stunning!

Also, a great stash buster, as it is worked from the bottom up - so you can work until desired width or until you run out of yarn!

The sample was knit in GGH Soft Kid. A substitute yarn is shown below.
