The blank page seems to mock you. You stare at it, head in hands, as your coffee grows cold. You know the words are there, just waiting to be released into the world, but you can’t quite find them. Time slows to a crawl, then suddenly - your eyes grow wide, and with one last sip of coffee, your fingers fly across the keys.

The Scrivener Shawl is dedicated to the creatives out there, in all the myriad arts - writing, dance, music, acting, crafting, anything that results in the world being better for the thing you’ve created. Crocheted from the top down, it basically flies off the hook

Techniques: Magic Circle, dc, hdc, front and back post stitches, bead stitch. Stitch explanations and links to tutorials provided.

Yarn: You will need approximately 960 yards of a fingering weight yarn. The gray sample uses three hanks of Knit Picks Hawthorne Tonal Hand Painted yarn in the color Astoria. The green sample uses two hanks of Playful Day Yarns’ Yak Sock in the color Olive. I suggest using a natural fiber so that the shawl will grow with blocking.

Hook: Size H/5.0mm or whatever size gives you a beautiful drape to the fabric

Notions: Tapestry needle, scissors, stitch marker

Final Measurements: The gray sample is 75in (190.5cm) wingspan by 35in (89cm) deep after blocking. The green sample is 66in (168cm) wingspan by 31in (79cm) deep after blocking. The gauge listed is after blocking.
