Felicity Shawl is a modern, asymmetrical triangular crochet shawl. It is worked back and forth in rows. The best thing about this shawl is how easy and quick it is to make. It took me only 8 days to finish it. And, of course, I didn’t crochet all the time. The stitch pattern is very interesting and repetitive, so when you remember 4 rows repeat, you can relax and listen to your favorite audiobook or podcast. Some of you would probably be able to watch something on YouTube or Netflix. I don’t watch anything while crocheting. I’m the listening person. When I crochet (something not too demanding) I listen to audiobooks, or podcasts. That’s my favorite time of the day.

The shawl is 180 cm (70.8”) wide, but you can make it in any size. If you want it smaller, just make fewer repeats, and in case you want a bigger shawl, add more repeats, and finish when you reach the desired size.

I made this shawl with Alize Angora Gold yarn I used in many of my previous projects. This time I combined it with Alize Angora Gold Simli yarn which has a very thin metallic thread in it, so it’s sparkly, which I really like.

I decided to make this shawl in two colors, because I love stripes. Actually, I’m lying. I decided to make stripes because I didn’t have enough blue yarn to complete the shawl. It was a holiday break, and my yarn shop was closed for 10 days. I couldn’t wait so long, so I took a look at my yarn stash and found this beautiful ivory shade of Alize Angora Gold Simli yarn, and solved the problem. It would probably look great only in blue color, as well.

The pattern is very detailed and it has:

– a written pattern,
– a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to make the first seven rows,
– a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to make tassels,
– 2 crochet charts,
– a stitch guide,
– a stitch count and
– information on material needed.

I can’t wait to see your versions of the Felicity shawl! So, please tag me and use the hash tag #felicityshawl when you post it on social media. I will share the best photos in my Instagram and Facebook stories and on Pinterest.

Felicity shawl is now available in all my shops. You can buy it in Dada’s place shop, HERE.

This is Gretta Shawl. I named it after the main female character from one of my all time favorite movies “Begin again”. I love everything about that movie: the plot, the characters, the actors, the music, the atmosphere… It’s fun and encouraging. And I really like its message, that anyone can always begin again… including you, and me… Life always gives us a chance for a new beginning. I love that!

It is unusually cold in my apartment today, so I’m writing this post wrapped my in Gretta shawl. It is really soft and warm. I promised to my son yesterday that his lovely girlfriend can get any shawl of mine she wants, but I honestly hope that she won’t choose this one. I would really like to keep it. That’s how much I like it! I also enjoyed making it.

Gretta shawl is a modern cable shawl. It’s quite big (175 cm wide and 80 cm long before blocking), but you can easily adjust the size simply by making less repeats before you add the edge (if you want a smaller shawl), or to add more repeats in case you want a bigger one.

This is my first cable pattern ever, and I can only say that cables are fun to make! And most importantly they are quite easy to crochet. I will definitely make more cable patterns in the future. I already have a few ideas in my head.

For this shawl I used beautiful and very affordable Alize Angora Gold yarn. It’s 80% Acrylic, 20% Wool, 100 g/550 m (3.58 Oz/601 yds). This yarn is not heavy, so, the shawl is quite lightweight. When you wear it, it is not heavy on your shoulders.
I used 4 skeins of 100 g, or approximately 330 g.
The pattern is very detailed (as always), and it has:

– a row-by-row written instruction,
– a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to make Cable2 and Cable6
– a step-by-step photo tutorial of first 6 rows,
– 5 crochet charts,
– several diagrams,
– information on materials needed,
– a stitch guide,
-and 69 step-by-step pictures.

I would say that Gretta shawl is an ideal crochet projects for everyone who has mastered the basic crochet stitches, and wants to expand their crochet knowledge, or learn something new.

I would really, really love to see all of your beautiful and creative versions of Gretta shawl! Please tag me and use the hash tag #grettashawl when you post it on social media. I will share the best ones in my Instagram and Facebook stories and on Pinterest.
