This is a crescent version of the Heavely Lemon shawl, more punchy, more textured :-)

Construction
The shawl is worked flat in one piece, starting at the center of the neck. With it’s delicate elegant lace, it drapes beautifully around neck and shoulders. The post stitches add a lovely texture to the piece as well as interesting results, depending on your colorwork.
The wawy edging can be blocked loosely or you can really block the triangular sections into a fine point.

Pattern instructions (US terms):

  • Fully written with photo illustrations for the wrap stitch as well as progress pictures.
  • The written pattern is divided into clear sections and is easy to read and follow.
  • This pattern breaks down every row for you into bite-sized chunks, so you can take it one step at a time.

Materials

  • Hook: 6 mm (US J10) crochet hook (or any hook to obtain gauge)
  • Yarn: Aran weight yarn. I suggest acrylic or wool for the best result. If you can get gauge, you can work it up in lighter yarns too for a more lacey look.

Total yardage

  • Approx. 1106 yards (1011 meters)
  • You’ll be using slightly more of color A than B if you follow the color instructions in the pattern

Size (before blocking)

  • 150 x 60 cm/ 59 x 24”
