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.

The pattern is written in English using US crochet terms. It has a written pattern, step-by-step picture tutorial and 6 crochet charts.

The pattern for the Summerhill shawl is now available in Dada’s place shop (payment options: credit cards and PayPal).

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.

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.

Weldy shawl pattern is now available in Dada’s place shop, here. You can purchase it also in Dada’s Ravelry shop and Dada’s Etsy shop as well.

Don’t really know why, but making this shawl was such a joyful experience! I enjoyed every second and every stitch of it! Working with delicate lace yarn (crochet thread for doilies actually) made me feel that I’m making something very precious. I assume that many of us keep doilies and table runners our grandmothers made, and we appreciate the time, effort and love they all incorporated in those beautiful works of art. When I was working on this shawl I felt like I was making something special that will last and will be appreciated for decades…

From the beginning to the end of the process of making Awana shawl I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve, and I moved in that direction without any bumps on the road, which happens so rarely. I almost always struggle, I doubt, I don’t know if I should do this or that… But not this time. This time, it was smooth sailing.

What I love about Awana shawl is that it’s simple but interesting. It’s modern but timeless.
I also love how simple it is to make. It has two different repeating segments. The lace segment, which is fast to do and the bobble segment, which is fun to do. When you learn how to make both segments you almost don’t have to look to the pattern anymore to the very end.

The Awana shawl is light and airy, a perfect accessory for a summer night out. It can also be a wedding accessory. Just leave out the tassels.

When blocked, the shawl measures approximately 142 cm (56”) x 74 cm (29”). I used thin thread for doilies Hakelgarn 100 by St. George, 100% cotton 566m/100g, and crochet hook number 2.

The pattern is written in English using US crochet terms. It has 48 step-by-step pictures to enable you a smooth sailing from the beginning to the end.

I made two Awana shawls. Initially I made the beige one. Really liked it. Then I wanted to experiment with two color version. I chose ivory and pale blue. Those two colors remind me of summer. I could imagine myself wearing it with faded jeans and a white shirt, while walking by the sea one beautiful summer night somewhere in Greece. The first part is done. The shawl is ready for the summer adventure. Now I have to work on the Greek part.

I like the both versions, and think that I will wear them a lot.
