Here is a crochet shawl that you can make for anyone in your circle of friends. You can easily adjust the size by doing more or less repeats of the pattern rows.

A crocheted shawl wrapped around and worn at the front like a scarf.

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 because it’s a mindless and relaxing pattern 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.
