Windy Morning Shawlette: free crochet pattern

Do you know what “shawlette” is? It’s a very nice shape between regular shawl and scarf. It is not very large and not too small and thus can be worn in a variety of ways. My new Windy Morning Shawlette is finished and I am happy to share its free pattern with you. You can also see more pictures of this easy project HERE. Enjoy!

 

 You will need: 

• Yarn in 3 shades. I used Stone Washed by Scheepjes in shades Crystal Quartz (814 - 2 skeins), Amazonite (813 - 1 skein) and Boulder Opal (804 - 1 skein). 

Please NOTE, that yardages are correct only if you have exactly the same gauge as given in the pattern. If your gauge is off you will most likely need more yarn!

Please, read my review about this yarn HERE). You can choose and purchase your shades via Scheepjes.com (NL), Deramores* or Wool Warehouse* (both retailers ship yarn internationally) and Paradise Fibers* (US).

• Crochet hook Clover Soft Touch* 3.25mm (D)
• Scissors and tapestry needle to weave yarn tails in.

 

Level

Beginner
 

Size

The size of your finished shawlette will depend on yarn and hook you choose and also on your personal gauge. My shawlette is approx. 175cm (70in) long and 28cm (11in) wide in the widest part (with border).

The construction os shawlette is very simple. It consists of 3 parts: incresing part, central part and decreasing part. And you can easily adjust the size of your shawlette. For example:

• to make it wider - crochet more rows with increases.
• to make it longer and wider - crochet more rows with increases + crochet more rows on the central part (without increase)
• to make it longer but with the same width - just add more rows without increases on the central part.

Gauge

Using stitch pattern - 22 dc x 9 rows = 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in)
