Mariposa was given its name by some of the amazing artists in my local knit and crochet group because they said the shawl looks like a butterfly. I really enjoyed creating Mariposa, it's an easy and fun pattern to make and the yarn is a joy to work with. Nurturing Fibres Eco-Fusion yarn is made in South Africa, and the American distributor, Good Loops Yarn, has given me a discount code for all of you! Just look in the pattern.

V Stitch Butterfly Shawl
I've decided to try out a yarn cake! I've seen pictures of other's crochet projects when they used a yarn cake and I thought the color changes were beautiful! They have them at my local yarn store where I get most of my yarn but they never really had any colors that caught my eye. Plus, it would be a big investment because each Yarn cake is 1,000 meters and cost 75 shekels (that's roughly 21 dollars) for just one skein! But I suppose that's why they call it a cake and not a skein, it's waaay more than a skein. I'm a plus size woman and this shawl fits me like a dream! I love these butterfly shawls!
Batterfly Shawl
I just released the V stitch Butterfly Shawl, and now I'm starting on my second yarn cake! I'm trying my hand at another Butterfly-style shawl. Something funny happened when I was crocheting it. When I showed my husband the design, he said it looked more like a bat. Then my daughter said it's a Bat-terfly shawl! So this shawl got its name before it got very big! As you can see in the picture, it does look like a bat or moth! But Moth-erfly didn't sound as good LOL.
Crescent Butterfly Shawl
The Crescent Butterfly Shawl is the 9th butterfly shawl crocheted in the series. I've been waiting to use this black, gray and white 1000 meter yarn cake for just the right design and I believe I found it! This butterfly shawl is made using an easy repeat just like all the others, though a touch is needed every 10 rows once you start your repeat row. I was limited only by the 1000 meter skein but this design can reach any size you desire by just repeating the pattern repeat. Find all my video tutorials on my YouTube Page @meladora1 For this project you will need: HOOK: 4 mm hook or size G hook for the US YARN: I used a 1000 meter Yarn cake from YarnArt's “Flower” collection. #253 Content: 55% Organic Cotton 45% Anti Pilling Acrylic Ball Weight: 250 g (8.8 oz) Yarn Weight: 1 : Fingering Yarn Length: 1000 m (1093 yd)
Butterfly Fling Crochet Shawl
The Butterfly Fling Crochet Shawl is fun, flirty and fast to create! This crochet pattern is best for intermediate crocheters due to the intricacies of the lacy pattern, but the end result is delightfully patterned and oh-so-stylish. Work this up in any color for your new go-to shawl, and the next time you're getting ready to leave the house, toss this beauty in your bag or throw it on for some instant and effortless style.
From the Blogger: "This is the first in my Fling Series which is named because you just fling it on, add a pin and you're ready to go! This project uses a really interesting and unusual stitch pattern producing fabulously lacy results.
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.
