"Orla is a beautiful delicate shawl which has a little bit more open-ness to it than the Ferne shawl but it still can cover you up very easily in any weather. This is a repeated pattern which makes it very easy to crochet and it works up fairly quickly, starting at the tip and working up in asymmetrical shape you will have it crocheted in no time, plus you can use it any weight yarn which makes it so versatile."

Orla Sideways Shawl

Ferne Sideways Shawl
Today's free crochet pattern is the Ferne Sideways Shawl, this beautiful shawl is such a joy to make as it uses simple crochet stitches to make a minimalist design but still looks absolutely stunning on! When creating the Ferne Sideways Shawl i took the design from the Ferne Asymmetrical Shawl and created it sideways and even though it's the same design it still looks different. Working a shawl up in filet crochet makes this shawl a perfect quick and mindless project to make and only takes four days to do if you crochet 220 yards a day! Since this is a filet crochet pattern you will be working the shawl pattern in only double crochet and chain stitches, once you have crocheted rows 1-7 from then on you will only follow a four row pattern repeat which is super easy to remember.
Ferne Shawl
The Ferne shawl that has been carefully designed using a soft merino wool to give it a light feel but also covers you up for cooler evenings. Truly a versatile piece for any wardrobe. This pattern has been written for DK weight yarn but it is that versatile that it can be done using any weight yarn. The wool i used for this pattern is King Cole Luxury Merino DK it is made from 100% Merino wool and it is lovely and soft and comes in a great range of colors.
Boux Asymmetrical Shawl
When sat there working the Boux rectangle shawl up which you can find here, i came up with the idea of doing an asymmetrical shawl using the same stitch pattern. Now i will be very honest, in the past when designing an asymmetrical shawl i always used the filet crochet method and i had never designed a shawl with an actual stitch pattern so it took a little more working out than normal (but not as much as the one that i am currently working on, new pattern coming soon YAY!) but the Boux asymmetrical shawl turned out just how i wanted it and it is actually one of my most personal favorites to date, i think because there was a sense of achievement in something i had never done before.
Eleanor Asymmetrical Shawl
Today's free crochet pattern is the Eleanor Asymmetrical Shawl, this crochet pattern is a very open lace design, it is basically made up of mesh which mainly involves using chain and sc stitches. Once you get to the repeat of this pattern it is very easy to get in to! Last week i released the Eleanor Triangle Shawl which you can find here! This is basically the sister shawl of that one just in a different shape, both are very open and lacy and perfect for the summer with their open mesh design, both very versatile as you can wear them draped over the shoulders or wear them like you would a scarf.
