Summerhill Shawl Pattern

02/04/2020 by Dada Filed Under: Scarves and shawls 2 Comments

Crochet pattern Summerhill shawl by dadas place

Summerhill shawl is light and airy, a perfect accessory to your summer outfit. It’s very easy to make, plus it’s a yarn saver. You only need 2 skeins of yarn! It’s made of very thin cotton yarn. I used 1-2 size bigger crochet hook than recommended for this yarn weight, because I wanted it to be as delicate as a spider web. And I really love how it turned out!

The design is very simple, and only decoration is a row of little roses on the border. At first I wanted to add a bunch of colorful crochet flowers on the border, but then my desire to make a shawl as simple and minimal as possible prevailed, and I decided on adding just a row of solid colored roses.

Yarn: I used 100% cotton yarn “Anna 16”, it’s 100g/530m. You can use any super fine, light fingering yarn, or crochet thread for doilies, instead. You’ll need 2 skeins of 100g.

Menya Blanket Pattern

Menya blanket pattern by dadas place 2

This is Menya blanket. I designed it for Crochet Now magazine. It was featured in issue 46. “The Menya blanket is a beautiful combination of cool style with interesting stitches! This blanket plays with patterns and texture to create a show-stopping piece made in luxuriously silky-soft yarn.” to quote the magazine. I must only agree with all that!

Despite the fact that last summer, when I was working on the blanket, was so, so hot, plus I had a tight deadline (so I was forced to crochet almost all day long), I really and utterly enjoyed the process. The main reason is the yarn I used – Hooked Eucalyps. Gorgeous, silky and soft like a cloud. It’s 100% eucalyptus! I know! It’s unbelievable! I’d never heard before that yarn can be made from eucalyptus. And to my surprise, it looks and feels like it’s made of silk. Working with that yarn was an incredible experience. I loved it, and I highly recommend it to everyone. Try it. It’s awesome!

It’s aran weight yarn, 165m per 100g skein. I used 21 skeins in Pastello 06.

The blanket is quite big; it’s a 143 cm square. It consists of 25 squares. Each square is approximately 25 X 25 cm.

*

I used 4.5 mm crochet hook.

*

The blanket is pretty easy to make. To design it I used only several stitches: magic ring, chain stitch, slip stitch, double crochet and popcorn stitch. That’s all! You don’t have to use plenty of “fancy” stitches to achieve something beautiful and interesting. I strongly believe that “les is more”. In design and in life. I’m one of those people who have a constant need to get rid of things…

Let’s get back to the subject. I have one more thing to tell you. The peachy pink version of Menya blanket just got a brother. Two days ago I finished my second, gray version, which I made for the purpose of the step-by-step tutorial. So now I have 2 Menya blankets! Which is great, because it’s winter and the blankets are so warm and snugly… Can’t wait to finish with this post to wrap myself in the blanket, grab a book and enjoy the evening. Of course a cup of Earl Gray tea with milk and honey is mandatory. And yummy.

The gray version is made of 100% cotton yarn, Cotton Classic by St. George. It is light worsted, DK yarn, 120 m per 50g skein. The blanket turned out a little smaller, 130 x 130 cm, and the square is 23 x 23 cm. It weighs 1342 g, so I spent 27 skeins of 50 g. Since that yarn is very affordable, I didn’t have to spend a fortune on yarn. It cost me only $22.4 or 20.44 Euros.

The pattern is very detailed. I rated it as intermediate level, but I’m sure that it can be easily accomplished by every committed beginner. The pattern includes:

– a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to make the square,

– a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to join the squares,

– a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to make the border,

-a crochet chart for the square,

– a crochet chart for the border,

– written pattern for the square, joining, and the border,

– a stitch guide,

– information on materials used.

All that packed in a 16 page pattern with almost 100 (98 to be exact) step-by-step pictures!

Weldy Shawl Pattern

14/01/2020 by Dada Filed Under: Scarves and shawls 14 Comments

weldy crochet shawl pattern by dadas place

Before I started working on Weldy shawl, I’d had a picture of a beautiful, simple and elegant shawl in my mind. I must admit that I liked that picture very much. Maybe, I even fell in love with it. Having high expectations might lead to disappointment. Because the end result must be almost perfect. With this shawl, though, I managed to avoid disappointment, because the end result was even better than the picture in my mind. And this rarely happens. My thinking usually goes something like this: “I should have made this part differently, or I should have used a different yarn/color/hook…, or I should have made it bigger/smaller/longer…, or I should have… you know what I mean. There’s always something that I should have made differently. Not this time. This time everything turned out exactly as I wanted. Even better.

Since I finished the shawl, I’ve been using it all the time. I love to have it around. To wrap myself in it, and to look at it. It’s soft and warm. I don’t even feel uncomfortable bragging about it.

Weldy crochet shawl pattern by dadasplace

I used Alize Angora Gold yarn. It’s beautiful, fluffy and very affordable. It’s quite thin, 100 g/550 m (3.58 Oz/601 yds) 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool. I used 3 skeins of 100g – approximately 280 g or 1540m
*
The size: It’s 170 cm (67”) wide and 80 cm (31.5”) long, after blocking. It’s quite big, but you can easily make it smaller if you make fewer repeats.

The shawl is quite simple to make. I designed it using only several stitches: a magic ring, a chain stitch, a single crochet, a double crochet, a bobble stitch, and a front post treble crochet. That’s all.
*
As always, the pattern is very detailed. It includes: row-by-row written pattern, photo tutorial, stitch counts and several crochet charts. All that packed in 14 pages.
