Materials Needed
- Yarn: Category 4 (100 grams = 180 meters), approximately 300 grams for the shawl, and about half a ball for the pockets and last rows
- Crochet Hook: 5 millimeter
Measurements
- Width (start of flowers to the end): 16 inches (40 centimeters)
- Length: 2 meters (adjustable to desired length)
Shawl Pattern
Foundation and Row 1
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain 26 loosely.
Yarn over, skip 3 chains, insert into the 4th chain:
- Make 20 double crochets (DC) along the chain.
- Chain 5, then in the last chain, make a DC, chain 3, and another DC in the same stitch.
- This creates the first "flower space."
Row 2 (Creating the Flower)
Turn your work, chain 3. Into the first "flower space", work the following:
- DC, (pull through 2 loops twice), yarn over twice for a triple crochet.
- Continue increasing stitch height until the center, then decrease in the same pattern.
- Repeat this pattern to fill each "flower space."
Row 3
- Increase the base by adding 3 DCs at the start and end of the row, then 20 DCs across.
- Repeat the process to create another "flower."
Continue Increasing and Adding Flowers
- Keep repeating the process of increasing DCs at the beginning of rows and adding flowers according to the pattern every few rows.
- You can adjust the length by repeating the pattern until you reach the desired size.
Adding the Border
- For a neat finish, you may add a border along the top edge of the shawl.
- Create a uniform pattern of three DCs, skipping spaces between post groups around the edge.
- Complete the border by repeating this pattern for four rows or to your liking.
Crocheting the Pockets
- Determine the placement and size of your pockets.
- Crochet a rectangle by making 16 loops for the pocket width, then working DCs back and forth, attaching it to the shawl with slip stitches on one side to align it properly.
- Continue working until you achieve the desired pocket height.
Finishing Touches
- Sew any loose ends, and adjust any details to personalize your shawl.
Notes:
- This pattern allows for customization in terms of size, color, and yarn type.
- Remember to keep your stitches loose, especially while making chains, to ensure the shawl drapes nicely.
