The Spring Simplicity Shawl is a calming, simple crochet shawl that any crocheter will enjoy if they are looking for a meditative, mindful crochet project.

This easy triangle crochet shawl enables you to take a break from stress and overthinking and utilize therapeutic crafting to help you focus on and live in, the present.

The women currently enrolled in my beta crochet program, “The Relaxed Creative - Master mindful crochet and enjoy therapeutic crafting any time, any where and every day”, wanted to make an easy crochet shawl and I firmly believe that beginner crocheters should be able to make nice, pretty things and not just dishcloths! So this project is very beginner friendly and provides terrific practice for working double crochet in rows.

The body of the shawl is made from rows of double crochet. The border is made from rows of single crochet and chain stitches.

The pattern provides both written and charted instructions for two sizes of shawl:

  • A shallower, wider shawl, and
  • A deeper but less wide version

The shawl is designed to result in straight, even edges with no holes at the beginning of the rows, so you won’t need to edge your fabric but there are instructions on how to add an optional border if you choose to.

To complete this project you’ll need:

  • Between 500 and 750 yards of fingering or light fingering weight yarn

  • Size H (5.0mm) crochet hook plus a 4.0mm crochet hook for the optional border

  • Locking stitch markers

  • Yarn needle

  • T-pins and blocking surface, or a blocking board
