How to crochet the Haylee Rectangle Shawl, an easy, cozy rectangle shawl worked in simple half double crochet stitches. 3 sizes included, but it’s so easy to customize the size!

Video tutorial included.

Matching Pieces:

• Haylee Beanie.
• Haylee Slipper Socks.

Materials:

• 820 (1210, 1790) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Emma’s Yarn Washable Worsted in the Set Sail colorway
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle

Material Notes:
Feel free to use your favorite worsted weight yarn. If the finished size is essential to you, then check your gauge, but if not, then just start crocheting.

If you don’t mind if the finished size of your crocheted shawl is a little smaller or a little larger, gauge is not essential for this project, so if you are more comfortable working with an I9/5.5mm crochet hook with your worsted weight yarn, feel free to size up. Please note, this will require more yardage than that listed.

I like to use locking stitch markers to help me keep track of the number of rows I’ve worked. I place them every 50 rows.

Time Spent:
I worked up the 15” by 60” size in about 11 and a half hours.

3 Women’s sizes included. These sizes are average adult sizes. It really all depends on your preferences, like if you like to wear it more like a scarf or wrap around your shoulders and arms, and how much overhang you like on your shawl.

Gauge (not essential):
16 HDC by 12 Rows = 4 1/8”

Note: If you are measuring a swatch that is only 16 HDC wide by 12 rows tall, it will measure slightly larger. If working a swatch, I recommend working at least 24 stitches by 18-20 rows, but a swatch is not necessary for this project unless the finished size is essential to you.

A really easy way to check your shawl is to measure after about 8-10 rows. This will be the finished width of your shawl (unless you add a border). It’s so easy to work up until you reach the length that you like, and you don’t even need to count your rows - you can measure as you go with a tape measure.

Abbreviations (US Terms):

• DC - Double Crochet
• SC - Single Crochet
