Unforgettable Top Down Shawl

Every woman deserves an Unforgettable Top Down Shawl in her closet. Begin crocheting this free crochet pattern at the center top and work your way down to the delicate and lacy scalloped edge. This gorgeous shawl is one of the prettiest Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable patterns, which is a self-striping worsted weight yarn.

The beauty of yarn like this is that it does the colorwork for you - keep working up your crochet shawl pattern, and the yarn will fade into other colors as you go, adding a soft and delicate color change throughout the shawl. The elegant design of this shawl pattern is timeless, and it's the perfect pattern to make for any season. It measures 67 inches wide by 31 inches long.
