Independence Day Shawl
Intermediate crochet pattern for a soft women’s crochet shawl written in English, created over simple rows using a variety of crochet stitches. I’ve also included a link to a video tutorial for some of the more unusual stitches, so that you can crochet with confidence throughout.
This elegant crochet shawl combines both lace and solid rows. It is fine enough to be worn on special occasions, or else as a pretty handmade scarf for every day use.
The beaded edging (optional) adds a unique finishing touch. I used wooden beads for the cream version as pictured. For a more formal crochet shawl you could try using glass beads or even sequins.
I guarantee that once you try it, this will become one of your favourite projects. It would also make a lovely stashbuster scarf by changing colour every row.

The crochet ladies scarf pattern is written in both US and UK crochet terms (two separate downloads) with clear descriptions of the stitches and helpful notes to ensure you can relax and crochet with confidence. Simple rows create the pattern which include the wonderful K-Stitch (I’ve included a link to a short video tutorial). The shawl is worked back and forth in easy rows along the length, so once you’ve got started, it works up very quickly. The stitches used are crochet classics found in many vintage crochet patterns. The stitch count is also provided so that you can adjust the length and size.
You will receive a pattern Pdf via email (one in US crochet terms and one in UK crochet terms) for instant download upon purchasing.
