HIBISCUS ROSE SHAWL WRAP
This beautiful Wrap is a ‘must-try’ for confident beginners! The apparently intricate pattern of hibiscus flowers, detailed in the Shawl, can be achieved using a repeated row pattern that has been written in a beginner-friendly format, to make the instructions easier to follow. The pattern uses very basic crochet stitches, and so this shawl is a great project if you want to practice your basic skills, whilst creating a beautiful Wrap. There are detailed instructions, with photos for the tricky bits.
US terms are used in this pattern
I used SIRDAR Jewelspun Aran yarn for this project. I created three shawls, in the following colourways:
Northern Lights (839)
Evening Jade (852)
Tourmaline Dream (850)

You’ll need 2x 200g balls of Sirdar Jewelspun Aran for each shawl. You could substitute the yarn for any other yarn weight, but this will affect the finished size of the Shawl. Please refer to the hook size recommended by the label for your yarn substitute.

MAIN BODY OF WRAP: Using 6mm hook, the Hibiscus Flower Pattern is created by repeating all Rows 4-11, and these flower pattern rows are repeated until the desired length of wrap has been created: You can increase the number of flower pattern repeats for a longer length shawl, or decrease for a shorter length.

BORDER: Using 5.5 mm hook, the Lattice Work border is then worked in rounds, around the sides of the main body of the shawl.

SPECIAL STITCHES
Full Fan cluster : 5dc all worked into the same indicated stitch
Half-Fan cluster : 3dc all worked into the same indicated stitch
BORDER: PICOT :Ch3, then slip stitch back into 1st chain created.
(Helpful Tips will be throughout the pattern in italics)
It is advisable to use stitch markers in the first and last stitch of each row throughout, and when you are creating your ch1 spaces. This will help to identify these stitches as you work, and will greatly assist the speed of your work.
