A very easy crochet shawl that mostly uses V-stitches and a slight variation of it that I called V-puff stitch.

The pattern is easy to memorize so that you will not have to constantly look at the instructions, so very relaxing!

Totally accessible for beginners too.

Materials
– 3.5-mm (E-4 USA, 9 UK) Crochet Hook
– One cake of Katia Concept Silk Degradé. I used color 302. This is listed as a DK (11 wpi) yarn, but it is more like a light fingering (22 wpi) yarn. One cake is about 656 yards (600 m).
– Tapestry Needle

Yarn Substitutions
You can crochet the Proserpina V-Stitch Crochet Shawl with any yarn you like and the appropriate hook.
If you use a much thicker yarn, your shawl is going to grow faster, so you will have to crochet fewer rows than the ones indicated in this pattern.
For example, I crocheted one Proserpina Shawl using a cotton cake in Aran weight and a 5.5 mm crochet hook.
