The Lion Brand yarn suggested for this crochet pattern has a slightly sparkly finish and makes this shawl even more special. You'll feel like you're ahead of the fashion trends in this shawl.

Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook

Yarn Weight(2) Fine (23-26 stitches to 4 inches)

Crochet Gauge1 Shell = about 2 in. (5 cm) wide, with 2 strands of yarn held tog. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Finished SizeFinished Length - 19 in. (48.5 cm) Finished Width - (along bottom of Shawl) 72 in. (183 cm)
