Your Sunday Shawl
Lazy Sunday Stripes Shawl
Who doesn't need a relaxing project for a lazy Sunday afternoon in the sun? This asymmetric wrap is just what you need to let the variegated yarn do all the hard work for you. Just sit back and enjoy an easy crochet project with a stunning result. The written pattern is available in English (US) and Dutch, and if you appreciate visual support, I have an English video tutorial showing you how to make the wrap.
Sunday Stroll Crochet Cowl
"The Sunday Stroll is the perfect fall cowl with a little twist (or slant in this case!) in colors that compliment both each other and any fall wardrobe. It is a fun easy cowl that is crocheted completely, and the slanted slip stitches are added at the end. Front and Back Post Double Crochet stitches create the ribbing at the top and bottom with the body of the cowl being a moss or linen stitch. This pattern uses two skeins of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted (110yds each) in two different colors."
Sunday Strolls Shawl
Is there anything better than a crochet triangle shawl that looks like sunset? Take a look at this amazing project in the pictures below, isn’t it absolutely gorgeous? It's a super feminine filet triangular shawl, that works up pretty quickly and uses advanced beginner stitches. Have fun!
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.
