You have probably noticed already that I am totally addicted to making crochet shawls. My sketchbook includes plenty of new ideas to make in the future. There are drawings of shawls with different colors ideas and using different stitch patterns and, to be honest, the most common shape is a triangle. But not today! Today I am so excited to be able to finally share a project with you that I’ve spent the last several weeks working on – the Arrow Crochet Wrap!
Scroll down to get the full free pattern below or purchase the ad-free, printable PDF crochet pattern with stitch chart HERE on ETSY or HERE on Ravelry.
As youโll see in the photos, this is a long, slim, arrow-shaped shawl that can be worn a variety of ways and is the perfect piece for your wardrobe. Arrow Crochet Wrap is worked from end to end, pointy at one end and V-shaped at the other end. Alternation of stripes and two different lace patterns creates nice texture and eye-catching lace designs. The whole wrap is perfectly reversible.
Arrow Crochet Wrap is a great project for those of you looking to expand your crochet skills. Not quite mindless project, but simple enough that it becomes rhythmic. Make it as big/small or wide/narrow as you wish. The number of section repeats can be adjusted, depending on the desired size of the finished shawl.
Arrow Crochet Wrap is the perfect chance to try your hand at combining colours. Since I wanted the lace patterns to shine, I knew I wanted this wrap to be crocheted in one neutral and two contrasting colours. The result is an incredibly stunning arrow-shaped wrap and it’s easier than it looks. Keep your colours muted or try mixing a dark, light and bright to create this delightful arrow-shaped shawl.
I highly recommend using yarn that blocks and drapes really well. To be fully satisfied with the final result you have to block properly your shawl.
For this project I decided to use (AGAIN!) Alpaca yarn from DROPS Garnstudio. If you follow my work you may have noticed that I used it before designing Spring Solstice Wrap and ZygZak Shawl. This yarn is an incredibly soft, sport weight yarn that is 100% Camelid – Alpaca.
Because this yarn is so soft and the pattern works up so easily, I am really pleased with how this crochet arrow-shaped shawl came out.
I would like to send many thanks to my amazing and talented testers who helped me to bring this crochet design to life. Their meticulosity and all advices they gave me during the test helped me to improve this crochet pattern and make it perfect for you. You can check out my testersโ projects HERE and see how beautiful their shawls turned out.
I hope you have been inspired to create your own luxurious arrow-shaped wrap!
