Addictively Beautiful: My Passion for Crochet Shawls
You may have already noticed that I’m completely obsessed with making crochet shawls.
My sketchbook is filled with lots of new ideas for future projects. I have drawings of shawls with different color combinations and various stitch patterns.
To be honest, the most common shape I create is a triangle. But today, I’m super excited to share a project I’ve been working on for weeks – the Arrow Crochet Wrap!
Versatile and Eye-Catching
Take a look at the photos, and you’ll see that this is a long, slim shawl shaped like an arrow.
It can be worn in so many different ways and adds a touch of allure to your wardrobe.
The Arrow Crochet Wrap is worked from one end to the other, with a pointy end and a V-shaped end.
By alternating stripes and using two different lace patterns, you create a lovely texture and captivating lace designs. Plus, the best part is that this whole rectangular crochet shawl pattern is reversible!
Expand Your Crochet Skills
If you’re looking to enhance your crochet skills, the Arrow Crochet Wrap is a great project for you.
It’s not too difficult, but it’s not mindless either – it strikes a perfect balance.
Once you get into the rhythm, you’ll find it quite simple.
You can make the rectangular crochet shawl pattern as big or as small, as wide or as narrow as you want. Just adjust the number of section repeats to achieve the desired size of your finished shawl.
The Perfect Yarn
To get the best result and be fully satisfied with your shawl, I highly recommend using yarn that drapes and blocks well.
For this pattern, I chose the super soft Alpaca yarn from DROPS Garnstudio. It’s a lightweight yarn that’s 100% Camelid – Alpaca, and it’s absolutely enchanting to work with.
This yarn makes the pattern come together effortlessly, and I’m thrilled with how the crochet arrow-shaped shawl turned out.
