The Yarn
To crochet and design this crochet shawl I used cotton yarn from Ice yarns. What’s great about this type of yarn is that there’s so many similar cotton yarns that can be used.
It’s a Sport weight, 2 fine yarn & comes in many beautiful colors.
This shawl could also be made with thicker yarn & only 1 strand of yarn if you prefer.

Techniques You Will Need
CHANGING COLOR WITH DIFFERENT COLOR ON DIFFERENT ROWS:
When working with different colors on different rows, you’ll never finish the last stitch on the last row with one color, with the color you where working with.
Do all the steps of the stitch, then leave the last step unworked. Yarn over with the color for the next st & pull yarn through.
Repeat this for every row you change colors to make the color changes look beautiful.
