Simple Seeded Lace – Rectangular Shawl Crochet Pattern

April 23, 2021 · Rhelena · 2 Comments

This rectangular shawl crochet pattern is given in one size, but can be adjusted as needed in the stitch multiple provided. It features an open stitch pattern and is worked in cotton, making it perfect for the summer and other seasons.

The shawl is worked lengthwise in rows until you reach a desired width. If you’re working this in cotton, I highly recommend that you block it to open up the lace.

This, in my opinion is an over-sized shawl, which means there are many ways to wear it! And you know what that means – it’s great for gifting! Because you know the recipient will have many opportunities to wear it year round. And every time they wear it, they will think of you. :)

The Stitch Pattern

The stitch pattern is very straightforward with an open row of half double crochets and chain one spaces. The next row is worked in the seed stitch; which is simply a single and a double crochet worked into one stitch followed by skipping a stitch to maintain the stitch count.

The shawl is finished with two rounds of a straight single crochet border.

The Size

The pattern is given in one size for a large. But the starting chains are a simple multiple of two, making it super easy to adjust the length to any size you want.

The Yarn

For this crochet shawl, I decided to use a textured cotton yarn called Nurture, by Euro Baby. I got mine from YarnCandyBargains on Facebook. I love this yarn, because as you may or may not know, I love all things textured! And this yarn seemed to go well with this stitch pattern.

The yarn is a 100% cotton yarn. It is soft and perfect for summer projects. It is labeled as a DK (#3), but because of its textures, I find it to be on the thicker side. That’s why I chose a larger hook than what’s recommended to allow for a beautiful drape of the finished shawl.

With that said, feel free to choose your favorite yarn, whether it be cotton or acrylic. And yarn weight doesn’t really matter either because it’s so easy to adjust this. Just make sure to match your hook to the yarn recommendations.

    I really like this pattern. It is very easy. I’m making a heavier version (to wear to a winter wedding) using 4 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver Metallic (4) and size J crochet hook. I began with a chain of 230. Finished size is about 74×18.
    I would also like to make it again with a lighter weight yarn as in the original pattern.

    Rated a four for now…I am not a beginner, have been crocheting for 25 years, but rarely and I only know about 5 stitches! I know, I know, not many for doing this for 25 years. I just learned to read a pattern after all this time. I have just been doing ‘by guess and by golly’ as to what they would look like. Most things actually turned out great.
    I cannot wait to try this pattern! I will let you know, and give a different rating when/if I can understand the pattern like I think I do.

    Thank you so much for offering this free pattern!
