About this pattern

I wanted to create a simple triangle shawl that is beginner-friendly pattern and suitable for beginners who don’t have that much experience yet. It’s entirely made with double crochet stitches and chains and has a lot of open stitch work.

There are only 8 rows that need to be repeated; 6 rows are made out of chain spaces, and 2 rows are made with double crochet stitches. That’s all!

The border is made out of little shamrocks or clovers. You can choose whether you want to make a shamrock (which has 3 leaves) or clover (which has 4 leaves). It’s a fun border to make and you can find step-by-step instructions in the video below.

About the yarn

For this shawl I’ve used a gradient yarn cake. One yarn cake has a length of 1000m / 1094 yds and a weight of 220g/7.94 oz. I really love how the colors change in a very subtle way. It creates such a beautiful gradient effect! With this yarn you don’t have to worry about weaving in ends or picking matching color combinations.

  1. Hi Wilma,

    Can you please check the stitch count table?
    I tried to draw the chart and according to that row 5 has 44 stitches.
    Thank you.

    (Haven’t crocheted the shawl yet, but this is my current project 🙂 )
