If you’re looking for a cozy, snuggly and supple shawl, look no further! The Vintage Sweet shawl is suitable for both beginners and advanced crocheters. I’ve made it in two shades, but it’s easy to adapt and make it your own! The finished shawl measures approx. 150cm in width and 75cm in length (60 x 30in). However, it’s easy to adapt as you can just increase the number of rows. The pattern is written in US terms and contains a written pattern, crochet diagram and photo tutorial.

Crochet pattern
Shawl
With Colour A, start with a magic loop.
You’re making ‘granny clusters’ consisting of 3 dc, with one chain in between. The bottom point of the shawl is in between the two granny clusters and shaped by the three chains. The single dc’s on the beginning and end of each row are to work your increasing granny clusters in the next round.
After finishing Row 47, fasten off and weave in loose ends (photo 2). You’ll be increasing with two granny clusters each row (one in the ch-1 sp at the beginning and one in the ch-1 sp at the end of each row).
