Hi! I’m so happy that you’ve chosen to take part in Mrs Lamb’s Advent Shawl Crochetalong! I’ve designed this pattern with mini skein advent calendars in mind, but it’s great for using up any minis or scraps you might have collected! It’s a simple, easy to follow pattern that you don’t have to concentrate on too much, making it great for hooking while watching Christmas movies!

This pattern is written using US crochet terms.

This pattern is designed for sock/4ply yarn but feel free to use a different weight if you wish, you’ll just need to adjust your hook size. Gauge isn’t important with this shawl, just bear in mind if you use a heavier weight yarn, your shawl will end up bigger.

My shawl measured approx 183cm long x 44cm wide

Each of the 24 colour sections requires 5-10g of yarn. On my test shawl pictured I used scraps so the amount of rows in each colour varied. You can either do the same amount of rows in each colour or vary it, it’s up to you!
