Even though this Monday Blues Shawl has all the deep, rich color tones of blue, you won't be feeling down when you're wearing this! The shawl crochet pattern has an understated triangle shape, and it can actually double as a crochet scarf because it is so versatile. The wave styling looks great with these blue colors, and the mix of dark and light creates a perception of depth that really sets this easy crochet shawl apart. The lightness of the fine weight yarn does not prevent this shawl from having fabulous warmth either.

For those of you who want to continue crocheting in the warmer months, here is a lovely free pattern for your home, kitchen towels. Make them in 100% cotton for good absorbency and durability. I had made them for a friend a couple of months ago and found the time to write down the pattern only recently. The chevron used a combination of alternate double crochet and single crochet rows. This makes it a quicker version of the chevron stitch when compared to the tedious single crochet chevron.

Here's my free pattern for my aptly named handbag, Cool Midnight. It's a touch of class and elegance...and durability. I used double-stranded Aqua Black yarn by "I Love This Yarn" from Hobby Lobby. I used one whole skein and a small amount from a second one. I made this with a 6mm hook. It works up fairly quick and easy enough for the beginner crocheter to tackle. I added a liner from a fat quarter with a variety print of dogs, microfiber handles and a decorative button. It measures 10 1/2" x 8 1/2".
