Windflower Shawlette
An elegant shawl or scarf resulting from a simple 3-row lace pattern. Because the shawl starts at the tip, it’s easy to make as large as desired. The sample was made with 1 skein of Charlemont, but work as many rows as desired!
The pattern includes full photo tutorial on blocking/pinning lace made from natural fibers, such as the wool/silk blend of the featured yarn. If you’ve been afraid to try crocheting a lace shawl or wrap, because you’ve never blocked anything, then this is for YOU! The pattern accompanies Chapter 9 of the book, and uses tr, sc, dc, and ch stitches. The stitch pattern was designed specifically for those who’ve just learned the (US) treble, and may not yet have perfected consistent loop-size in the stitch. Regularly interspersed rows of sc stabilize the fabric and allow “larger loops” to become a beautiful part of the lace
Pattern uses US terms, but book provides a conversion chart for users of UK terms.
ERRATA: The published version does not have a stitch chart, but a hand-drawn chart of Rows 1-8 (6-8 are the pattern repeat) is included in my project notes here.
Row 6 should read: Ch 4, 4 tr in 1st sc, dc in next sc, SK NEXT SC, shell in next sc…
A new shell is always made in the center SC of the 3 that are together in row 5 or 8.
