Make a Wish shawl

Make a Wish shawl is all about light, texture, and warm feelings. Its gentle colorwork pattern is inspired by white dandelions: soft, airy, and full of small hopes. ◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍ Blow on a dandelion, make a wish, and wrap yourself in that hopeful feeling all year long!

The shawl features a non-regular triangular shape with an elongated colorwork corner, creating a soft, drapey, and comfortable fit.

It is worked in two directions, making it easy to adjust to your preference: by changing the width of the colorwork insert at the beginning, or by making it shorter or longer as you go, which also changes the size of the shawl’s body.

TECHNIQUE

The colorwork stitch pattern is based on the linen (moss) stitch, with some chains replaced by specific textured stitches: raised double crochet (you can find it in my Leaf shawls and tops series, In Three Ways collection, and in Chapter 2 of the New Ways with Crochet book) and front post treble crochet stitches worked in slightly unusual place.
