Lace Crochet Shawl – FREE Crochet Pattern

The Yarn

---

For the this lace crochet shawl the suggested yarn is Feels Like Butta from Lion Brand Yarn. It’s absolutely the softest yarn I’ve ever tried & will definitely use again.

It comes in 18 amazing colors & for the crochet shawl pictured the color Dusty Pink was used!

The yarn is 100 % polyester & that’s where the softness comes from.

I promise you, you’re going to LOVE it!

THE PERFECT SUMMER & FALL CROCHET PROJECT

---

YES, this soft & easy lace crochet shawl is perfect for summer, but as I mentioned, it’s also great piece when you transition into or from the warm weather season.

The yarn feels super soft against your skin & isn’t warm the same way as wool often feels.

That’s why I would prefer using this for projects for summer & early fall.

Another reason why you’re going to love this lace crochet shawl is because it’s a light piece to bring with you. If you get a bit cold, it’s easy to grab it from your bag & it doesn’t take much space.

The shawl is also great because of the pretty crochet stitches. You’re going to love the look & feel pretty while you wear it.

Lace Crochet Shawl Pattern Instructions

Crocheted from the small tip with increasing width for each row.

The stitch marker on even rows is placed to help localize the first stitch when working odd rows & can be skipped. If used, move it each time you start even rows.

Tip: A stitch marker can also be used to identify the final stitch that you will not crochet in on even rows. This can be done by placing the stitch marker in the first hdc made on each odd row.
