I love working with fingering weight yarn and the Scheepjes Whirl series has such a great selection of colors to choose from! For this pattern, I picked the Passion Fruit Melt Whirl and combined it with the Rose Whirlette. The colorwork in this pattern is achieved by switching yarn after every few rows.
I have always admired projects made with the Moss Stitch and I wanted to use it to design a shawl pattern. This shawl is entirely made up of the Moss Stitch - so, all you need to know is how to make chains and single crochet stitches!
This was my happy, mindless project that I could make without paying much attention to it. Once you figure out the pattern repeats, it is very easy to make!
Disha means ‘direction’ in Hindi.
There is a small bonus in this pattern too! :)

'Shine Like A Diamond' Cowl
"With this cowl I was aiming to bring out different colors to make a pattern instead of switching yarn for every color change. This cowl is made with only two stitches and the forward pass is made with one color and the reverse pass with another - there is no switching of colors. Yay! This is a very easy pattern if you know how to work in the round. It is very quick and you can memorize the pattern so you won't have to refer to the instructions all the time!

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)

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.
