Who loves rectangular shawls?
I absolutely love creating them for sure! This one was inspired by one of the sections in my Erulissë Shawl. I loved the diamonds made with popcorns and I decided to make a rectangular shawl using those stitches.
The pattern itself is really easy and works up super quick and the repetitive rows help you to relax more while crocheting.
Also, there are two border options if you are not a big fan of fringes!
Special thanks to my testers: Jan Henley and Kerry Freeman

Difficulty: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate
Finished Size: 40 cm/15.5” wide
159 cm/62.5” long with fringes
141 cm/55.5” long without fringes
Materials needed:
- 3.5 mm (E) size hook (I used Limited Edition Alpha Series Snakewood by Furls)
- NOTE: If you crochet loosely I advise you to use a 3 mm (5/0) size hook
- 1 Scheepjes Whirl (I used Lemon Cassis Cream shade)
- or approximately 1094 yards/ 1000 meters of fingering weight yarn
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Stitch markers (optional)
- NOTE: Blocking is essential to enhance the lace patternwork of your shawl and to ensure that your edges are straight
Stitches Used and Abbreviations:
CH = chain
SK = skip
ST/STS= stitch/ stitches
RS = right side
WS = wrong side
SC = single crochet
DC = double crochet
Popcorn ST = popcorn stitch
Picot ST = picot stitch
{ } =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 medium lenght 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:
Popcorn Stitch (Popcorn ST):
Work 4 double crochet (DC) stitches in the same stitch. Drop the loop from your hook and insert your hook from front to back under the top 2 loops of the first double crochet of the group. Grab the dropped loop with your hook and pull it through the stitch.
Picot Stitch (Picot ST):
CH 3, SLST into the third CH from hook
Gauge: 6 SC STS= 1″ / 2.5 cm
Additional notes:
- If a row/round starts with a Chain 1, that is not counted as a stitch, unless stated otherwise.
- Slip stitches do not count as stitches.
- CH 2 always counts as double crochet.
- US terms used throughout
- At the end of every round, there’s going to be a note with the stitch count, so you can keep track of your work easily and avoid any mistakes. It’s written in a different color in bold
- Notes are written in a different color in (brackets) to help you through the pattern.
- You can start each round as I did in the pattern or you can use a standing stitch or chains, it’s totally up to you!
- You can easily adjust the width of you shawl: the starting chain should be multiples of 14
- There’s an option for an ALTERNATIVE BORDER if you don’t like fringes
Instructions
Important: Before you start, take off 10-12 grams (if you crochet loosely, you can take off 12-15 grams) from the beginning of the skein, which will be used to make the border at this end of the shawl (I will refer to this as leftover yarn 1)
