The Fairytale Shawl

IMG_1819

Today, I introduce to you the Fairytale Shawl!

I’ve had quite the time coming up with this pattern. I was nervous that it would look “unprofessional” in the crochet world because of how it curled at the bottom. However, I truly love this design and am proud to call it my very first shawl pattern that I created all on my own!

I’ve had two balls of Bernat Pop in Violet Vision sitting in my closet for months now, and I knew I wanted to make a shawl with them, but I was tired of the Granny Stripe Shawl that I’ve been making (I made quite a few for loved ones for Christmas last year). I wanted it to be a design all my own that let the colors of the yarn do a lot of the work. I think this pattern does just that, but I also admit that I would love this in a solid white color. I’m currently making my own in white, and am giving this colorful one to my niece (it’s way too small for me — two balls of Bernat Pop make a shawl/cape suitable for a child only).

Sizes and yarn yardage

 Child: 560 yards

Small: 1120 yards

Medium: 1680 yards

Large: 2800 yards

Extra-Large: 4480 yards

Sizes and yarn yardage adjustable according to how many rows of this shawl you are willing to do. I roughly estimated these sizes due to how much yarn the puff stitch rows take up, and this shawl grows very quickly.

Yarn pictured is Bernat Pop in Violet Visions from Yarnspirations. I used two balls or about 560 yards to make the child size.

Materials Needed:

* 4ply/worsted weight or aran yarn (see size/yardage chart above)

* 5.5 MM (I) crochet hook

* Scissors

* Yarn needle

*Stitch markers if desired

  1. I am a bit confused. Everywhere you have a ch1 are you supposed to skip one on the lower row?
    I followed your directions to the T and it is increasing way too much way to fast.
