Interwoven Cabled Chic Shawl

The gorgeous scarlet shawl features stacked double crochet stitches and a gorgeous cable border. The finished shawl measures 15.5 by 78 inches, long enough to comfortably wrap around yourself and cover your chilly arms. This pattern also includes a scarf option with a narrow double crochet section if you aren't much of a shawl person. This intermediate pattern is shown in a rich sangria shade, perfect for standing out this spring - you can always choose a more subtle from the variety of other options, though.

Wow. This is so pretty, so beautifully showcased by our pretty model. The color used is so elegant, and the style and design so chic, any fashionista would love to have this piece of clothing. This will also look gorgeous in royal blue or tea or moss green. It's up to you.
