Eva’s Shawl

This pattern should work with any weight


of yarn. I used a lace weight with a size
4mm hook. A decent sized shawl takes
about 100 - 150g of laceweight yarn.

The shawl is crocheted top down, with


increases every row, and can be made
any size - just stop crocheting when it’s a
bit smaller than the desired size (bearing
in mind that if you are using blockable
fibres (e.g. wool , alapca, cashmere)
it will increase in size when it is blocked).

To get a nice lacey shawl you will need


to use a larger hook size than that
normally recommended for the weight of
yarn - play with different hook sizes until
you are happy with the results.
