Lacy Double V-Stitch Rectangular Shawl
The lacy double v-stitch rectangular shawl is worked up in an open stitch with a fine yarn. It’s the perfect summer shawl crochet pattern for summer weddings and other memorable occasions during the hot weather.
With that said, with the right outfit and occasion, it can be the perfect go-to shawl to wear throughout the year.
It will also make for a nice gift idea on Mother’s Day, Christmas, or birthdays.
It’s a mindless pattern, which makes it easy to work on at the end of the day when your other work is complete.
The Size
The lace-weight shawl pattern measures 56 by 13 inches. However, a stitch multiple is provided so you can adjust the size as needed.
The Yarn
I used Red Heart It’s A Wrap Hues, which is a fine #2 lace-weight yarn. The yarn is self-striping so you can have pretty colors, but without the hassles of having to make color changes.
If you have another yarn in mind you can easily incorporate your own striped color design. Or, crochet it up in a solid color, which would look lovely as well.
The Stitch Pattern
The stitch pattern is super easy and mindless to make! It’s simply the double v-stitch separated with a few chains to give you a beautiful and lacy look.
To get started, ch any multiple of 7 + 2 for the width.
Row 1: Dc in 3rd ch from hook. Sk next 2 chs, dv-st in next ch. ch 2.
DV-St: (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) into the same ch or space.
Skip next 6 chs, dv-st into next ch.
*ch 2, sk6 next 6 chs, dv-st in next ch; repeat from * across to last 3 chs. Sk next 2 chs, dc in last ch. Turn.
First row is complete.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dv-st into space of next dv-st,
*ch 2, dv-st into sp of next dv-st; rep from * across; dc in last st.Turn.
Repeat Row 2 until you have reached the length needed.
