Pom Pom Happiness Shawl
The Pom Pom Happiness Shawl is a beautiful shawl with - as the name says - a pom pom border. This happy shawl is perfect for spring, summer and also for kids. This pattern will turn out great with yarn cakes that subtly change colors. It's an easy pattern with basic stitches such as single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet. This makes it a great project for beginners. The pattern is written in English and uses US crochet terminology.
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.

Turquoise Fiesta Shawl
Skill Level - Beginner - working with two colors is the only tricky bit. The Turquoise Fiesta Shawl is made up of only one stitch (Tunisian Full Stitch) and the forward and reverse passes are made with different colors. This stitch creates a reversible pattern and is beautiful on both sides. The shawl can be worn either way! To make this shawl, I picked up two skeins of yarn and crocheted until one of them ran out. It is made up of a repeat of two rows so you don't have to deal with a complex pattern. It is perfect for you if you are looking for something fun that does not require you to count stitches! This (tested) pattern contains: A photo tutorial for the first few rows Step by step written instructions for the shawl (US terms) Complete list of materials.
Benita One-skein Shawl
This one-skein crochet shawl pattern uses self-striping yarn to make colorwork easy. This rectangular shawl can also be worn as a scarf in transitional weather. Since it's a one-skein crochet shawl pattern, you won't have many ends to weave in which means you can wear this project as soon as it's finished. This is an intermediate level pattern, but there are only two rows to repeat. Once you get the stitch pattern down, you will find it a relatively mindless and straightforward crochet project. Skills Used Basic crochet stitches: chain, double crochet, single crochet Crocheting flat in rows Crocheting into chain spaces (includes video tutorial) Special stitch: FPcl (includes written description)
