Crochet Fleur De Lis Shawl
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Lace/fingering weight for a lighter version or thicker yarn like sock weight/DK for a denser shawl.
- Hook: For lace or fingering, use 2.5mm to 3mm. For thicker yarn, 3.5mm to 4mm, or up to 4.5mm for bulkier yarn. For chunky yarn, use 5mm to 6.5mm.
Pattern:
Starting Loop:
- Create a slip knot.
- Chain 7 and close it into a loop with a slip stitch.
Setup Row:
- Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet).
- Perform 2 more double crochets into the center of the loop.
- Chain 3, then do another 3 double crochets into the same space.
- Repeat once more (Chain 3 + 3 double crochets into the loop).
- You should have a small cluster that looks like a star.
Row 1:
- Chain 3 at the start of every row.
- Turn your work. Perform 3 double crochets into the chain 3 space (the gap), then chain 3 and do another 3 double crochets into the same space.
- Chain 4, then do a double crochet in the next chain space.
- Chain 4 again. In the next chain 3 space, do 3 double crochets, chain 3, and 3 more double crochets.
- This is the middle of your shawl, creating a spine. Mirror what you did from step 2 on this side as well.
Row 2:
- Start with chain 3, turn your work.
- Jump to the chain 3 space, do 3 double crochets, chain 3, and 3 more double crochets in the same space.
- Chain 4, then create a puff by yarning over and pulling up loops four times, then chain 4 between these puffs.
- For the central spine, do 3 double crochets, chain 3, then 3 double crochets.
- Add a double crochet to the top chain of the previous row to flatten the edge.
Repeat these rows adjusting for the size of your shawl:
Repeat Row 1:
- For an expansion of the initial clusters and continuation of the spine.
Row 2:
- Introduces more decorative puffs and petals, which contribute to the shawl's elegance and intricacy.
To make the shawl denser:
- Use thicker yarn and adjust the chain spaces accordingly. Instead of chaining four between motifs, reduce it to two chains for a closer and denser texture.
- Continue the pattern as established, bearing in mind this adjustment for a denser outcome.
