I hadn’t made a shawl before, and I wanted a simple one to teach me the basics. Plus, I had just got some lovely Lion Brand Moroccan Nights yarn that I wanted to show off! After much searching, I found what I wanted: the Easy Breezy Shawl pattern by PurpleIguana on Ravelry.
This pattern is very simple, just a two-row repeat using only double crochet and chain stitches. Due to the simple nature, I actually made quite a few mistakes! I found it easy to accidentally miss a stitch when I was rounding the corner, which would lead to me pulling out the whole row once I realized.
I chose this pattern because of its simplicity. I knew that the yarn I was using wouldn’t have any stitch definition, and I really just wanted to show off the yarn! This pattern achieved that perfectly, in my opinion.
The pattern didn’t include a border, so I found a design in one of my crochet books. I used a shiny golden colored yarn for the border since I wanted to give this shawl a mystical, royal look!
Overall, I’m super pleased with how this project turned out. The shawl is light, but still warm. I think it’ll look great during autumn or winter with other rich, dark colors.
I really want to know, what was your first crochet shawl?
