Spring Showers Shawl CAL – Part 3

Rows 31 to Edge

 

*****

 

 

 

I am amazed at all the shawl projects you guys are sharing in the Pattern Paradise Crochet Community – what a beautiful collection of colors and yarns and some of you have even made more than one shawl! Here we are at the final stretch. Part 3 includes Rows 31 through the edging. Just a few more rows and your piece of art will be final! I have enjoyed hosting this crochet-along and I hope you’ve enjoyed crocheting with us. Stay tuned for more fun projects to come. 🙂

Be sure to join us in the Pattern Paradise Crochet Community  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.

Spring Showers Shawl Rows 31 to Edge

 

 

Size: 54” wingspan x 26”

 

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

 

• The green sample was made with Knit Picks Lindy Chain, colorway Sagebrush, 3 balls, 70% linen, 30% flax, (180 yards/165 meters in each 50g ball)

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)

tr: treble crochet

 

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.
