Light and breezy, this comfortable crochet shawl will add instant sophistication to any outfit, even if it's just jeans and a T-shirt. You'll love how the crochet shell stitch is used to create a beautiful and dramatic look, too, while the fringe adds just a bit of drama to the overall look. Just keep in mind this intricate crochet pattern is ideal for those at the intermediate level.
