Easy Crochet Shawl Pattern – Hdc v-st and tr
Can you have too many crocheted shawls? I’ve been making them lately and loving them! They are the perfect solution to staying warm on cooler days and evenings. I like to get cozy in them while crocheting and enjoying my favorite cup of tea/coffee.
Here is a quick and easy rectangular crochet shawl pattern to make and use throughout the year. It is a versatile accessory, perfect for adding a touch of warmth to any outfit. Whether you need a cover for the beach, an elegant dinner party, or a backyard barbeque, this crochet shawl is just what you need.
Customize the shawl using your favorite yarn and hook size. Simply adjust your starting chains in the stitch multiple provided to keep the same size. Or, if you need a different size to meet a specific style that is super easy to do as well.
Colors are also easy to incorporate in stripes, blocks of colors, or simply choose a plain color to match your favorite outfit. I used a self-striping yarn called Cotton Cakes by Caron. The color is seashell, which is not only a great color for the summer but for the fall as well.
