The Yarn
For this winter shawl crochet pattern the suggested yarn is Caron – Chunky Cakes.
This self striping yarn comes in many lovely color gradients, from muted colors to bright.
One of the positives about using cakes like this, is that you don’t have to weave in a lot of ends & the color changes just runs smoothly & gradually through the shawl.

The Perfect Winter Crochet Project
This winter shawl crochet pattern is the perfect crochet project for cold weather.
Using thick yarn, it’s a quick make, but it’s also super warm & cozy to wear.
Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into øprev “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook. Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches.
*2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Row 1: Hdc 2 in 1st st (no ch), hdc 3 in next st and PM in middle stitch of 3, hdc 2 in next st, turn (=7 st).
Row 2: Hdc 1 in 1st st (no ch), ch 1, *hdc 1 in next st, ch 1, sk 1 st*, repeat from *to* until you reach pm, (hdc 1, ch 1, hdc 1) in marked stitch and PM in ch, **ch 1, sk 1 st, hdc 1 in next st**, repeat from **to** until you have 1 stitch left, ch 1, hdc 1 in last st, turn (=11 st).
Each repeat of row 2 will increase 4 stitches.
On the row following row 6 or a repeat of row 2: Crochet in the chain spaces instead of in the chains.
Row 3: Hdc 2 in 1st st (no ch), hdc 1 in each st until you reach PM, hdc 3 in marked st, hdc 1 in each st until you have 1 st left, hdc 2 in last st, turn (=15 st).
Each repeat or row 3 will increase 4 stitches.
Repeat row 2 & 3 every other row until you have worked 51 rows.
