The Ottobre Shawlette is a light and lacy crochet shawl pattern. This small shawl features cotton yarn an a mix of beautiful stitches for a truly unique crochet shawlette.

Ottobre Shawlette is a richly detailed top-down crochet shawl that layers technique upon technique into a single, wearable piece. Front and back post stitches build three-dimensional texture, bobbles punctuate the surface, picot edging finishes the hem, and stripe colorwork runs throughout, all worked flat from the top down as one continuous piece. For intermediate crocheters ready to put real skills on display, this is the shawl that does it.
