So many times, we underestimate the stitches. Both sides tell a story.
A simple stitch letting us know there’s more to it. The way it speaks through the colors. All we have to do is look.

The Telling Shawl is a traditional crochet crescent shawl that uses gentle shaping to create a shallow yet generous silhouette. The curved shape sits securely around the shoulders without adding too much bulk around the neck, making this a comfortable layering shawl and transitional piece.

Intentional two-color striping influences the design’s name and creates a pleasant sense of progression. The color bands gradually expand as the shawl grows until the contrasting color gently overtakes the shawl. The combination of stripes and stitches gives that “just one more row” feeling we all crave, keeping the project engaging but far from basic.

The Telling Shawl is perfect for advanced beginners and crocheters comfortable with the basics and ready to go beyond the single crochet stitch.
