Notes From the Designer:

The calming blues and exceptionally soft yarn used in this shawl have me yearning for those cool mornings when a light layer of warmth and a cup of tea is the perfect way to start the day. I can just imagine sitting on a back porch, gazing across a lake as the early mist begins to rise.

This triangular shawl begins in the center and works outward in rows made of simple combinations of single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet stitches. The border design utilizes three different stitch patterns. The first combines popcorn stitches and single crochet worked in light blue, set between simple rows of grey, providing a nice contrast in both color and texture. For a smaller shawl, stop after this section. For the full size shawl, continue on to crochet a mesh formed with dc2tog, chain and single crochet.

  • Click here to watch a video where we demonstrate the shell stitch, popcorn stitch, how to get started, and how to work the final section.
  • Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect yardage and size.
  • Written instructions and charts are provided.
  • Approximate yardages for each section are given so that the crocheter may choose how many colors to use and customize the shawl.
  • Stop after Section 6 for a smaller shawl.
  • When instructions refer to “same st,” it means working again in the stitch just completed.
