How to Grow Your Trapezoid Shawl: Spring Solstice Wrap Part 2

6 April 2018 by Sylwia (MyCrochetory) Leave a Comment

Updated: 21 October 2026 by Sylwia (MyCrochetory)

This crochet trapezoid shawl gets its real shape right here, in Part 2. You take the triangle you made in Part 1 and grow a long, slanted panel off one side of it.

I designed this wrap years ago, when I was still fairly new to designing and loved playing with unusual shapes. Side B is where that idea really shows, because your neat triangle starts turning into half of a wrap.

  • Part 2, Rows 34a to 79a, Side B (you’re here)

How Side B Turns the Triangle Into a Crochet Trapezoid Shawl

Side B turns your triangle into a crochet trapezoid shawl, and it starts right where Part 1 ended. You don’t cut the yarn after Row 33, you just turn and keep going along one edge of the triangle.

Every row has a growing end and a shrinking end. At one end you work 2 or 3 stitches into one stitch, and at the other you work two BLdc2tog, so every row stays exactly 135 stitches long.

I’ve always been drawn to geometric shapes, and this is geometry you can hold in your hands. One end moves out, the other moves in, and the panel leans like a parallelogram next to your triangle.

Back Loop Ridges, Pink Eyelet Stripes and Mesh Lace

Most of Side B is back loop double crochet. Working into the back loop leaves a little ridge on every row, so even the plain gray parts get a soft, striped texture.

Then the dark pink yarn jumps in, twice, for three rows each time. The middle row of each pink stripe is an eyelet row of double crochet and chain 1, so a line of tiny holes runs right through the color.

And then there’s the mesh lace. These rows are just chain 5 loops and single crochet, so they grow fast and make the wrap feel light, which you can see best in the photo of the whole wrap below.

How to Use the Charts for This Crochet Trapezoid Shawl

This part of the crochet trapezoid shawl comes with two charts, one for Rows 34a to 56a and one for Rows 61a to 79a. They sit right under the written rows, so you can follow the words, the charts or both.

Rows 57a to 60a don’t have a chart, because they simply repeat Rows 35a and 36a. If you ever feel lost, count your stitches, since most rows end with the stitch count in brackets.

Yarn and Blocking for Your Crochet Trapezoid Shawl

I made my crochet trapezoid shawl in DROPS Alpaca, and I still recommend it. You need 5 skeins of light pearl gray for Yarn A, 1 skein of dark pink for Yarn B and a 3.5 mm hook.

Since alpaca is an animal fiber, I wet block the wrap once all three parts are done. Soak it, stretch it gently, pin it to blocking mats and let it dry, and watch the mesh lace open up.

After blocking, my wrap measures about 87.5 inches along the long side, 54.25 inches along the short side and 17 inches across.

Want to finish it later? Save this crochet trapezoid shawl on Pinterest so Part 2 is easy to find again.

Crochet Trapezoid Shawl FAQ

Do I need to finish Part 1 before this part of the crochet trapezoid shawl?

Yes, Side B is worked straight off the last row of the triangle. Row 34a starts right after Row 33, with the same yarn and without cutting it.

Why does my Side B lean to one side?

That’s exactly how it should look. One end of every row increases and the other decreases, so the panel slants and makes the angled end of the trapezoid.

Can I use a different yarn for this trapezoid shawl?

Yes, any fingering weight yarn close to DROPS Alpaca works, which has about 182 yards in 50 g. Check your gauge first, because a thicker yarn needs more yardage and makes a bigger wrap.
