Frequently, I buy yarns without having a project in mind. I then browse through Ravelry, looking under the projects tab of the yarn I just bought, hoping for inspiration. That is how I stumbled upon the Easy Peasy Posy Shawl by The Crochet Fix. I had just purchased Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn, and thought it would look great as this shawl!
The pattern can be purchased from Ravelry, or accessed for free on the original blog website. I ended up purchasing the pattern since it came with images and diagrams! (But the free blog post gives plenty enough information in my opinion)
This shawl has some cute floral filet work, with some lattice rows that also look like little flowers! It makes a great light spring shawl since it’s airy too.
The pattern was very detailed and well written. It’s a 10-row repeat pattern, but it goes row by row until two repeats are completed. This really helped me understand how the pattern would repeat in subsequent rows!
One might think this pattern isn’t beginner friendly, but I disagree! Surprisingly, the complexity of the rows actually makes it easier to catch mistakes quicker, so not as much rework is required. Each row’s stitch pattern is actually quite easy to remember once you’ve completed it a few times. I truly think an adventurous beginner would be able to complete this pattern fine.
Overall I really liked this pattern. It’s enjoyable to create, and the finished product is super cute. The instructions were clear, and there’s even a free version of the pattern! I really like how this turned out.
Have you made this shawl before? What did you like about it??
