Connected Bows Shawl

A new crochet scarf pattern for the cold winter months! My mom came up with the idea to make a very wide shawl with a small detail in the middle. Simple but not too simple.

By making the shawl extra wide, you can wear it in different ways: like a normal scarf around the neck or like a shawl around the shoulders.  The pattern is easy to follow and a therefore a perfect project for beginners as well.

About the yarn

For this design I worked with a new yarn cake called ‘Romance Merino Silk’ from the Etsy shop Wollelfe. The shop owner Katrin is from Austria and dyes the yarn herself. Katrin ships worldwide and has many color options available.

If you want to work with fingering yarn, she has two options: Merino-Silk and Merino-Twin. The Merino-Silk blend is perfect for items like shawls, wraps, etc. It drapes really wonderful and has a nice sheen because of the silk content. The Merino-Twin is perfect for sweaters and things that are washed very often.

I’ve made a video explaining how to make the Connected Bows Shawl (written pattern below).

Abbreviations/stitches

Ch: Chain
Sl st: Slip stitch
Sc: Single crochet (US)
Hdc: Half double crochet (US)
Dc: Double crochet (US)
**: repeat between **
(Number): amount of stitches at the end of the row

Notes

– The shawl is worked in rows, which means you turn at the end of every row
– I did not count the turning chains as a stitch, I only used them to gain height
