Glowing Blue Shawl
Deep Blue Beginner Shawl
This beginner triangle shawl pattern is easy to make smaller or larger. Simply crochet a repeat of R2 an even number of times - this will allow the edging to work for the shawl. This is crocheted in a lighter weight yarn, so the shawl is also lighter weight when you are wearing it. It is not heavy like a blanket. This simple shawl is an everyday shawl. Something you can make and wear for comfort, with your cozy pants, or just to keep the chill off when you are sitting on your back deck enjoying a cup of coffee (or glass of your favorite wine). This shawl will also work well as a Prayer Shawl or for donation purposes. I designed this slightly larger because I am larger myself (a petite 3X) and I wanted a shawl I could wear out on my back deck! My sister, Kelley, is modelling the shawl for the photos and she is much daintier and a size Small . It is an oversized shawl for her.
Big Sky Shawl
Life is often hard, and even the clearest skies have clouds sometimes. And as crocheters, we can make it better. One way is by making prayer or comfort shawls for those who need an extra hug, and to feel our love. The Big Sky Shawl was designed with this idea in mind - while maintaining a sense of style. The Big Sky Shawl is made with Lion Brand Homespun, a favorite yarn for those crafting for others. It's warm, soft, and the yarn creates the texture - which means simple stitches shine. And the Big Sky Shawl does indeed use simple stitches, so almost anyone can make this easy crochet prayer shawl pattern! The colors I used for the Big Sky Shawl are Montana Sky and Clouds - appropriate, no? Streaks of gray cut through the blue sky, but there is more blue than gray, to remind us of the bright times to come. The shaping creates a triangular shawl that's more V shaped than anything, with corners that wrap easily around the shoulders to stay in place. And it doesn't just help the person you give it to - it helps you too! Studies have shown time and again how crocheting improves our mental health, making this an excellent way to help others while you help yourself. You can wear the Big Sky shawl across the shoulders as a standard shawl, or wrapped around the neck with the point in front - either way, the optional tassels on the points help keep it where you put it. It's only 20 rows long (plus a couple rounds for the border), so you can whip one up in a just a few evenings.
Once in a Blue Moon Triangle Scarf/Shawl
I designed the Once in a Blue Moon Triangle Scarf to be an easy, one skein project that is accessible for beginners. The whole scarf, including the tassels is made with 1 Caron Chunky cake. The colourway I've used with this pattern is called Once in a Blue Moon. You'll need a 12mm crochet hook for this pattern and knowledge of the following stitches/techniques: SC = Single Crochet DC = Double Crochet MC = Magic Circle SL ST = slip stitch Working in rows
Monday Blues Shawl
Even though this Monday Blues Shawl has all the deep, rich color tones of blue, you won't be feeling down when you're wearing this! The shawl crochet pattern has an understated triangle shape, and it can actually double as a crochet scarf because it is so versatile. The wave styling looks great with these blue colors, and the mix of dark and light creates a perception of depth that really sets this easy crochet shawl apart. The lightness of the fine weight yarn does not prevent this shawl from having fabulous warmth either.
Blue Moon Shawl
"The Blue Moon Shawl is the Moogly Fall 2021 Crochet Along - a big triangle shawl that is warm, comforting, and takes you on a top-down stitch pattern adventure! I really loved using O’Gos for this project - the yarn stays tangle-free and flows easily, and you don't have to separate the colors until you're ready. Each section features the “next” color in the skein, minimizing the possible mess - or you can mix it up and create your own color scheme!"
