It’s been so ridiculously cold this past week that I decided to create a shawl that is warm and evocative of spring bulbs emerging. This shawl is shaped in such a way that it fits snugly on and around the shoulders giving the feeling of warmth, security and a fabric cuddle.
Materials:
300g Caledon Hills Worsted Wool – 881 Goldenrod
7mm crochet hook
Pattern:
ch 70 (+2) counts as first hdc
Row 1: hdc into each ch to end
Row 2: (Inc Row) ch 2, work 2 dc into 1st and last st, dc into all other sts

Row 12 – 14: (Dec Rows) decrease at both sides on each row by ch 3, work 1 dc into 2nd ch sp at beg and end of each row. Continue to work 1 ch, 1dc throughout.

Wow, this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. You do such nice work.
So beautiful! I wouldn't mind cuddling up with it myself. I love that you made it yellow -- definitely reminds me of spring.
Hello there - found this via Flickr. I love your pattern - it's fabulous.
Thank you all for your lovely comments, it makes me smile when I think that people actually appreciate what I've produced :-)
If I wanted to make this a little larger could I add another ten stitches to the starting chain? I also get a little lost when you sat (DEC) row.
Yes you could start with an additonal 10 sts/ch, but you would need to factor those stitches in throughout the pattern and make the necessary adjustments. Alternatively you could work with a heavier yarn or a larger hook.
(dec) means decrease row.
Best Wishes
I saw this on your ravelry and I think it is great so unusual and very warm. Thanks so much for the pattern yes and I agree with bevrooni love the spring yellow it looks so happy! love and hugs in Jesus xx
Hey, very beautiful shawl!!! Are there buttons to hold it in place?
Like the other posters said, a beautiful shawl! I plan to make it for Christmas presents for my mother and her prayer partner. The instructions said to decrease to the end. Is there a total number of rows or does it not matter? Thanks!
Thanks for your pattern.I am a beginner...do you think you can explain hoe to do the decrease?? Do I do any chains at the end of each row? Having trouble knowing how to finish and start each row on the decrease. Thank you. I'll be waiting so I can finish mine.
