I made this shawl for my mother as a gift. She wanted something not too airy but textured and rectangular. I think I was successful and moreover she loves it too.

Difficulty:
Advanced Beginner / Intermediate
Size:
Before blocking: 66” long, 12” wide / 168 cm long, 30,5 cm wide
Materials needed:
- 3.5 mm (E) size hook (Get great hooks HERE)
- 1 Scheepjes Whirl or approx. 1000 meters of any fingering weight yarn (you can order the yarn from here too and if you spend more than £20, you get £5 off!)
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Stitch markers
Stitches Used and Abbreviations:
CH = chain
SK = skip
ST/STS= stitch/ stitches
BLO = back loop only
SC = single crochet
HDC = half double crochet
DC = double crochet
FPDC = front post double crochet
DCtog = double crochets together
SWPuff ST = sideways puff stitch
Picot ST = picot stitch
*-* =repeat pattern between these symbols (This is only used for a full repeat, may contain smaller repeats)
{} =indicates how many stitches go into the same stitch or used to repeat a small set of instructions between these brackets the number of times given
[] = used to repeat a longer set of instructions between these brackets, the number of times given
Special Stitches:
Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC):
Yarn over, insert your hook from front to back around the post of given stitch, from right to left, yarn over and finish your double crochet as usual.
Double Crochet 4 together (DC4tog):
- Yarn over, insert hook into given stitch/space, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, leave the stitch unfinished (2 loops on hook)
- Yarn over, insert hook into given stitch/space, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, leave the stitch unfinished (3 loops on hook),
- Yarn over, insert hook into given stitch/space, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, leave the stitch unfinished (4 loops on hook),
- Yarn over, insert hook into given stitch/space, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over pull through all 5 loops, CH 1 to close. (CH 1 doesn’t count as a stitch)
Crossed double crochet:
Skip 1 stitch and put 1 double crochet into the next stitch, then put 1 double crochet into the skipped stitch. This way you will create nice little double crochet ”crosses”.
Sideways Puff Stitch (SWPuff ST):
Before you make a sideways puff stitch you always have 3 DC STS
Yarn over hook, insert hook in indicated stitch (this is going to be the ST you put the first DC into {it’s the base of the first DC}, NOT the DC itself!), pull up a long loop through that stitch/space (3 loops on hook)
(Yarn over hook again and insert hook into the same stitch, pull up a loop (same height as the previous one) 3 more times. You should have 9 loops on your hook.
Yarn over and pull through 8 loops, (2 loops on your hook) , yarn over and pull through both loops.
You can dowload a helpful photo tutorial for the SW Puff ST below:
Picot Stitch (Picot ST):
CH 3, SLST into the third CH from hook
Gauge:
7 DC stitches = 1”
Additional notes:
- If a row/round starts with a Chain 1, it is not counted as a stitch, unless stated otherwise.
- CH 2 and CH 3 always counts as double crochet, unless stated otherwise.
- Slip stitches do not count as stitches.
- From Row 15 I wrote the instructions in sections and I’ll refer to these sections in the repeats further in the pattern (e.g. repeat section 1)
- US terms used throughout
- Remember to turn your work after each row
- Notes are written in (brackets) to help you through the pattern.
- Blocking is essential to make it look nice and the edges straight

Happy Crocheting!
Hello, love this shawl! I would like to make it wider. Can you provide a stitch repeat count please?
Hello Mary,
If you want to make it wider, the starting chain should be multiples of 7+4. 😊
