Autumn Meadow Shawl Sizing & Yarn
This triangle shawl pattern is written for one size, and measures approx.557.25″ / 145.5cm at the longest edge, and 27″ / 68.5cm high in the center.
Any#3/Lightweight/DK yarn would work great for this shawl, and I used a slightly larger hook size (5mm/H-8) to create a gorgeous drape.
For my shawl I used I used WeCrochet Kindred DK in three colours, which was very generously provided by WeCrochet for this design. Kindred DK is a gorgeous combination of baby alpaca for warmth, and pima cotton for breathability, making it a great choice for all types of projects (like my Spring Cardi Crochet Pattern!)
I used approx. equal amounts of each of the three colours – 6 x 50g skeins in total.
Crochet Triangle Shawl Construction
This asymmetrical shawl is crocheted from side to side, starting at the narrowest point, and increasing in width with each row. On Right Side (RS) rows, the increase will be made at the start of the row. And on Wrong Side (WS) rows, the increase will be made at the end of the row.
The pattern is a simple 4 row repeat – one row of double crochet, followed by 3 rows in moss stitch (one of my all-time favourite stitches – definitely check out my Moss Stitch Tutorial if you haven’t used this stitch pattern before!)
So, once you get the hang of these 4 rows, this makes a great couch project to work on with Netflix (or your favourite crochet podcast!) on in the background.
Crochet Stripes
Don’t let the striped section of this shawl scare you!
The stripes are created by alternating between 3 different colours. You will not need to cut the yarn in between rows – when starting a new row, you can simply “float” the new yarn up from 2 rows below as required 🙂
So, once you are finished crocheting, you will have less than 10 ends to weave in, yay!
