Product Description
Berroco Dionne Crochet Shawl
What is Being Made
The Berroco Dionne is a crocheted shawl designed by Alison Green, featured in Berroco Booklet #354. This elegant accessory measures approximately 22 inches wide by 62 inches long, making it a versatile wrap suitable for layering or draping. The shawl is classified as an easy skill level project, making it accessible to crocheters with basic to intermediate experience.
Techniques Used
The Dionne shawl employs several key crochet techniques to create its finished design. The pattern is worked flat, meaning you crochet in rows rather than in the round, which simplifies construction and allows for straightforward shaping. The design features lace construction, creating an open, airy fabric with decorative negative space. The shawl is seamless, requiring no finishing seams, as it is built as one continuous piece from the foundation chain through the final rows.
Stitches Used
The Dionne pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches to build its lace structure. Double crochet (dc) stitches form the primary fabric and create the solid elements of the design. Chain stitches (ch) are used extensively to create the open spaces and lace elements characteristic of the pattern. The stitch pattern repeats feature clusters of 3 double crochets grouped together, alternating with single double crochets separated by chain-1 spaces. This combination of solid and open stitches produces the delicate lace appearance throughout the shawl.
Materials and Tools
The Dionne shawl requires 9 hanks of Berroco Mixer yarn in the colorway #8150 Fever. Berroco Mixer is a versatile yarn choice for this project. You will need a 4.00 mm (size F) crochet hook, or the appropriate size needed to achieve proper gauge. The recommended gauge is 3 shells and 3 double crochets measuring 4 inches in width, with 8 rows measuring 4 inches in height when worked in the pattern stitch. Checking gauge before beginning is essential to ensure your finished shawl matches the intended dimensions.
