Double V-Stitch Crochet Shawl

Here is a crochet shawl that you can make for anyone in your circle of friends. The v shawl crochet pattern can easily be adjusted to any size you want by doing more or fewer repeats of the pattern rows, thus perfect for making a small neckerchief or an oversized shawl with many styling options.

It’s worked up in a split shell, also known as a double v-stitch. It’s one of my favorite stitch patterns, not only because it’s pretty, but also because it’s mindless and relaxing to work on.

Because I used a self-striping yarn, I decided to omit an edging. However, I did provide basic instructions on how to single crochet around. From there, you can then choose any edging you like.

How to Wear a Crochet Shawl

This v-shaped shawl crochet pattern has a long point, which makes it ideal for tying around the neck as a cozy scarf that hangs down at the front. It’s perfect for wearing underneath a light jacket that is open or slightly open.

If you want to turn this into an oversized shawl, you would have many other styling options as well. Depending on how big you make it, you can drape it over the shoulders for a cozy shoulder wrap, and in the summer, it can be worn as a beach cover.
