This is an extraordinary and fun hooded shawl. Great for outdoor activities like music festivals or a walk in the woods. You can also wear it at home and enjoy being wrapped in happy colors and add some fun to your daily life.
It’s also possible to leave out the pompoms and use as a normal shawl. Maybe crochet in a single color for a more romantic look.

The pattern consists of 8 pages, with photos and schematic drawings of the shawl and the border. It has easy to follow step by step instructions, also stating the stitch count for each round/row.

Measurements: Length 69 inch/175 cm, width 16.5 inch/42 cm.

One flower square measures 7.5 x 7.5 inch/19 x 19 cm.

The colors for the red/orange version are given in the pattern!
For this fun shawl I used color changing yarn meant for hats with a pompom attached to each ball called Pompom Cake Yarn, which is unfortunately only available in some European countries.
For that reason I have added two suggestions for other yarn brands, Red Heart Super Saver and Caron Big Cakes.
You can buy pompoms in stores or online, for instance in the US at Walmart and Michaels, or Amazon.

Pompom Cake Yarn 85 g, 244 yards/223 meters, 50% acrylic/50% polyester, sold at Action stores in Europe.
840 g, 2438 yards/2230 meters

Or, alternatively:

Caron Big Cakes 300 g, 603 yards/551 meters, 100% acrylic

Or:

Red Heart Super Saver Ombré 283 g, 482 yards/440 meters, 100% acrylic.
