Shawls and Wraps
The Boux shawl is a very easy beginner shawl pattern with a lovely mesh look which makes it very light and airy for a worsted weight shawl. When i worked this pattern up i will be honest i wasn’t expecting it to be so long but i think because of how the stitches are it made it a lot longer than my other shawl patterns, i mean it's not a bad thing it was just quite unexpected but i still love how it turned out and even though its a one row repeat which can get boring quite fast i didn’t find this one did to be honest. I managed to work this one up in between homeschooling, my other job and running a house so it was a nice fast easy project on the hook.

Boux Asymmetrical Shawl
Shawls and Wraps
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.
Kaylee Sideways Shawl Free Crochet Pattern
Shawls and Wraps
"Today's free crochet pattern is the Kaylee Sideways Shawl which features a very easy stitch design. The stitch used for this shawl only uses single and double crochet and chain stitches to create a mesh effect running all the way through the shawl. When i first started this shawl i did think this might take a while to do just because of the single crochet stitches but actually i made it in no time at all and it only used 4 skeins of cascade 220 in aran which is really good! Also when crocheting this shawl i only crocheted 66 inches in length because i could just tell due to the stitches that it was going to stretch quite a bit when blocking and boy did it, it went from 66 inches to 75 inches in length which is a lot of growth! So just bear that in mind when crocheting this shawl it is a grower, you really don't want it too long."
Azul V Mesh Poncho
Shawls and Wraps
This beautiful ombre poncho is sure to compliment a variety of casual outfits. The pattern is super simple as it's created with two rectangles that are seamed together. Because it's not as long as a typical poncho, it's comfortable and practical for everyday wear and serves the same purpose as a wrap. It's also light and easy to tote around or pack in a suitcase for vacation! Since it's made entirely with the v-stitch, the pattern makes for a perfect project to throw in your beach bag or crochet while watching your fave shows. Using a slightly larger crochet hook than what is typically used for worsted weight yarn lends to the open “meshy” feel of the poncho. Add the fringe for a boho flair, or leave it without for a clean, modern look.
Darla Shawl
Shawls and Wraps
When looking for a stitch for my next shawl i was going with something a little more plainer in mind, i just find sometimes a really plain stitch like the one i used for this pattern can still look really beautiful without all the fanciness. This stitch pattern has vertical stripes using double crochet stitches with chain spaces in between and i think it gives it more of an elegant kind of feel. When i started working this rectangle shawl it was such an easy one to get into where there wasn’t a lot of thinking involved but the results still came out beautiful and was worked up quickly.
Devon Sideways Shawl Free Crochet Pattern
Shawls and Wraps
Today's free crochet pattern is the Devon Sideways Shawl and this beautiful shawl is a filet crochet pattern meaning that it just uses the double crochet stitch and the chain stitch. I designed a filet crochet blanket not long ago of broken chevrons and wanted to do that as a shawl but i got a bit carried away and in the end it didn’t end up as broken chevrons, it ended up as a double chevron but don't worry the broken chevrons is still on my list to do. This crochet pattern is very easy as it consists of working it row by row, flat and sideways and it works up super quick! This shawl only took me 4 days to complete and then a few extra days for blocking. Even though this pattern is a filet crochet pattern i still like to block my shawls as it gives it more of a crisper finish and it lays more flat.
