The Heather Shawl
"The Heather Shawl is a crochet rectangle shawl perfect for any occasion. Simple to crochet yet elegant in design, this wrap uses basic stitches to create a beautiful, open texture. Pattern repeats draw the eye into the beautiful shells and long, detailed lines. A perfect accent piece for any outfit and a gorgeous way to stay warm on cool spring or autumn nights. This crochet rectangle shawl was designed for Fingering (1 - Super Fine) weight yarn, but can easily be created in heavier weights up to DK, if preferred. "
Crochet HookG/6 or 4 mm hook
Yarn Weight(1) Super Fine (27-32 stitches to 4 inches)
Crochet GaugeMatching gauge perfectly isn’t a requirement for this pattern however, you may want to double check gauge to ensure that the shawl will be big enough.
To do so, change the foundation row of the pattern to this foundation row instead: Foundation Double Crochet 19 sts or ch 21, dc 3rd ch from hook and each ch across for 19 sts.
Then, work the pattern through Row 11. Your work should be approximately 4 inches x 4 inches. (You may have to stretch it a little to achieve this, but not a ton!)
NOTE: I am a tight crocheter, which means my tension is typically tighter than others. Because this shawl can be worked to your desired size and still be wearable, there’s no need to worry if your gauge is slightly off.
Finished SizeApproximately 56 inches long by 15 inches wide
