Wrap yourself in the magic of the Crochet Amethyst Shawl, a project that bubbles with the joy of making. Picture this: with every loop and yarn over, you're stitching a masterpiece, a cozy hug of color that drapes elegantly with every wear. This pattern isn't just about making a shawl; it's about painting with yarn, where every stroke brings you closer to a wearable piece of art.
Crochet Amethyst Shawl
Materials Needed:
- Red Heart Roll with It Sparkle yarn in Amethyst colorway
- Crochet hook
Pattern Instruction
Starting Point:
- Create a slip knot.
- Chain 4.
- Work 2 double crochets into the fourth chain from the hook.
Row 2:
- Turn your work.
- Chain up 1, then chain 2 more (this does not count as a stitch).
- Half double crochet into the first stitch.
- Skip the next double crochet.
- Half double crochet into the last stitch, which is the top of the chain 3 from the starting point.
Row 3:
- Chain up 3.
- Half double crochet into the first stitch.
- Yarn over twice and work 2 front post treble crochets around the stitch you skipped in the row below.
- Work 2 half double crochets and 1 double crochet into the last stitch.
Following Rows:
- Continue building the pattern, which will be a series of half double crochets, skip stitches with treble crochets around them, and increases at the end of rows.
Rows 8 and 9:
- These rows set up the repeat you will use for the majority of the shawl.
- You'll be working half double crochets, skipping over treble crochets, and creating increases by working multiple half double crochets into one stitch.
Bobble Border (Optional):
- To add a Bobble border, chain up 5.
- Work a bobble stitch into the fourth chain from the hook. A bobble stitch is typically made by partially completing several double crochets all into the same stitch, then yarning over and pulling through all the loops on the hook at once.
- Slip stitch into the next chain and into each of the next three stitches.
- Repeat this process for as long as you'd like your border to be.
Finishing:
- Repeat the pattern established in Rows 8 and 9 until you reach your desired size for the shawl.
- End with the bobble edge if you wish, or simply finish after a complete pattern repeat.
- Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
