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.
