Leto Shawl – week 1

5 March 2019 by Sylwia (MyCrochetory) Leave a Comment

I simply love crocheting and crochet shawls are my true love. As a mathematician, I love geometric and symmetrical shapes. That’s why I am so excited to show you my latest design – LETO Shawl.

I have decided to split the pattern into four parts released weekly (every Tuesday). Each part will be accompanied with the chart. You can join my Facebook Group or Ravelry Group to get necessary support, ask question about pattern or share your work in progress (WIP).

For those who would like the whole instructions up front the ad-free printable PDF is availabe in my ETSY and  Ravelry shops. The crochet pattern includes both the written instructions and crochet charts.

As you can see, LETO shawl is a geometric lace design combines interesting diamond shapes with nice solid edging. It’s a fun crochet to pick up if you want to challenge your crochet skills a bit and push yourself. Not quite mindless project, but easy enough that it becomes rhythmic. It looks bumpy before blocking, but then becomes airy, light and intricate. Blocking makes all the difference.

I love the versatility of triangular shawls made from the top down. They can be made in almost any weight of yarn and in any size. Finished shawl measures 170cm at widest top edge and 74cm at longest point at center back, so it’s one-size-fits-all. With the shawl being one-size-fits-all you won’t have to worry about making adjustments in size.

When choosing the yarn, take into account how the fibre blend and color will work with the lace pattern. In my opinion, a variegated yarn doesn’t work well with a very intricate lace pattern. I highly recommend making a swatch to make sure you are satisfied with stitch pattern.

This openworked design is finshed in the comfort 4ply, cotton-blend yarn from RICO DESIGN Creative Cotton Degrade which has a very gentle gradient. This yarn creates a wonderful and fashionable faded effect. Colors are gently moving from one end of the cake to the other.

This shawl makes a classy fashion statement and the perfect gift for a friend.

Here are seven shawl made by lovely ladies who tested the pattern:

The pattern contains both written instruction and chart. Choose the most comfortabe way to follow the pattern and let’s get started on this adventure together. Below is the pattern portion you will need for this first week.

Materials & Tools:
  1. Yarn creative COTTON DEGRADE 200g = 800 meters, 50% Cotton, 50% Acrylic, 1 cake.
  2. Hook size 3,5mm (US E/4 – UK 9). Adjust  hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge,
  3. Tapestry needle (to weave and hide yarn ends),
  4. Scissors,
  5. 1 Stitch marker.
 Level:

Intermediate.

Size after blocking:

Wingspan – 170cm, Center depth – 74cm

Gauge after blocking:

After Row 9 the triangle is approx. 10cm/4in high.

Gauge is not crucial for this project. However, changes might result in a different yardage requirements and the finished size.

Notes:

  • The shawl is worked in rows back and forth.
  • The stitch marker is placed in ch-5 space in the central corner.
  • Ch4 in the beginning of every row counts as treble crochet and when working stitches in last stitch of every row make them into fourth ch of beginning ch4.
  • When crocheting stitches into ch-spaces, you will work them around chains not in the particular chain stitches.
  • The pattern includes the stitch charts.
