Spring Showers Shawl CAL – Part 1

Rows 1 to 19

 

*****

 

 

 

It’s finally here! Our Spring Showers Shawl CAL has started! Woo hoo!! Part 1 will take you through row 19. The shawl starts out with a circle motif that morfs into the triangle shape as you add rows. Be sure to pay attention to stitch and chain counts because if you don’t establish the base correctly, the rest of the rows won’t work out 🙂 Be sure to join us in the Pattern Paradise Crochet Community for the crochet along and for a chance to win prizes (see the details below)!

The yarn I used for the grey ombre shawl was a custom dyed gradient made for Pattern Paradise by Katy from  KT & The Squid.  Katy is offering her gradient sets at 10% off through the end of April with the coupon code SPRING SHOWERS, CLICK HERE to see her current collection.  

I thought it would be fun to try this pattern in a lighter yarn for the summer too, and so I made it up in a linen blend yarn that I love as well! Really, I think it would look great in almost any DK weight yarn. You could also play with different weights, but of course, that would result in different sizing and I haven’t tested that.

Materials

Yarn:

• The grey ombre sample was made with 3 colors, one ball of each (246 yards/224 meters in each 100g ball). I used KT and the Squid Everyday DK Superwash Merino (100% merino wool) in the colorway Spring Showers Grey

Hook US I/5.50 mm

Other Supplies

• Tapestry Needle: You will need this to weave in ends.
• Scissors and tape measure to trim yarn and check measurements.
• I recommend blocking your shawl, and these are my favorite blocking mats.

 

 

Gauge: Gauge is not critical in this pattern but I have added checkpoint at various points in the pattern.

 

Abbreviations:

ch: chain

dc: double crochet

sc: single crochet

sl st: slip stitch

sp: space

st(s): stitch(es)

Notes:

• Pattern is written in US standard terms.
• Weave in ends as you work.
• The stitch count is in ( ) at end of each round.
• Work instructions in [ ] as a set.
• Pay close attention to repeats in [ ] or *.

• For the ombre shawl, fasten off at color changes.
• At the beginning of each row, you will slip stitch across the first two double crochets and into the ch2 space to start the new row. This provides a nice scalloped-edge finish for the shawl.
