There are many different shapes and sizes of crochet shawls and wraps. And some are easier to crochet than others. I wanted to make a shawl that is beautiful but also very simple to make. So, how do you crochet a simple shawl? This one I made is a rectangular shape. It's probably the easiest shape to work with as the amount of stitches in each row stays the same, no increasing or decreasing is required.
If you're looking for a stylish project that will work well with virtually any yarn then this pattern may be perfect for you! With the Mae's Triangle Shawl you'll start at the center and evenly grow the shawl in the shape of a triangle. What's so great about this concept, is that you can literally continue crocheting until the project is as small or as large as you like, or until you run out of yarn.

The Squid Dance Wrap was designed to show off how to mix and match my variegated yarns with semi solids from my Everyday Collection. I just love these large scarf/wraps worked on a bias. they are so much more interesting than straight stripes and are extremely easy to do! For this pattern you will need to know how to chain, single crochet, double crochet and slip stitch. For my sample I used 3 colors of my Squid Sock so have fun mixing and matching different sock yarns!
The Quicksilver Shawlette features gorgeous neutrals and the interplay of stitch patterns, finished off with a beautiful and stricking edging. And it uses (less than) 2 balls of yarn - and takes only a few evenings to make! It is the perfect blend of feminine and graphic, ready for date night, school runs, and coffee with friends, jeans, leggings, dresses, fall, and winter! I used LB Collection Superwash Merino, and love the combination of Charcoal and Ivory. But this pattern would be amazing with other color combos too. Imagine a bright pink Dahlia instead of the Ivory, or go tone on tone with Eggplant and Wild Berry - so many possibilities! Tips on upsizing included in the pattern!
This pattern was designer by a guest designer through Joy of Motion Crochet. This is one size fits most. My wrap measures 65” x 13.5” unblocked. You can adjust the length by adding multiples of 6 to the starting chain. This pattern took me about 5 hours to make in total so it is a great option to gift or make a couple of for a special occasion such as a wedding - I think this would be stunning in white, cream or ivory for a bride and the accent colour for bridesmaids gifts! Because of its size, and despite it being in #3 weight yarn, it could also double up as a great scarf in winter. It is one of those pieces that you will always find a way of wearing despite the weather.
