Journey Through The Stones Crochet Shawl
"This shawl is worked sideways from end-to-end. It starts off at the tip on one side and gradually grows by 1 stitch with each row until the widest section, which is in the middle. Then each row decreases by 1 stitch until you reach the tip on the other side. Lacy Crochet Border When I first purchased the yarn, I had chosen four colors and had planned to make something using all four. When first starting out this shawl, I was thinking of using just three of the colors. They look lovely together; however, as I was nearing the end of the length of the shawl on the decreasing side, I decided to use all four colors. The darker cypress color really helps add depth and makes the clay color pop. "
Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook
Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)
Crochet Gauge16 single crochet every 4 inches. However, gauge is not critical to this shawl. Adjust the length by stopping the increasing rows in the middle where you think the mid-length would be. Add the next color and complete the shawl decreasing rows.
Finished Size86 inches wide, measured from side-to-side. The length in the center of the shawl is 22 inches long.
