Ella's Rhythm Shawl

We like to think that this Ella's Rhythm Shawl was named after Ella Fitzgerald and her amazing musical talent. Perhaps a bit of Ella's spirit will rub off on you when you crochet this shawl. The crochet pattern combines a simple stitch design and a unique construction to make a lovely lace shawl. You can choose your yarn weight and hook size for this shawl, too. The triangular shawl is super trendy right now because it's kind of a cross between a handkerchief and a scarf.
