What is Being Made
The Peace Sign Shawl is a crocheted triangular wrap designed by Spider Mambo. This finished shawl measures 76 by 34 inches, making it a generous size suitable for layering or draping. The design features a peace sign motif worked into the fabric, creating a distinctive visual element throughout the piece.
Craft and Technique
This project is created using the crochet technique, making it accessible for beginners. The shawl is constructed by building upward from a single bottom point, with the pattern expanding as you work each successive row. The construction method allows for customization—you can adjust the finished size by working more or fewer repeats of the peace sign pattern rows, making this design adaptable to different yarn weights and personal preferences.
Stitches Used
The Peace Sign Shawl employs several fundamental crochet stitches to create its structure and decorative elements:
- Chain stitch (ch): Used to create the foundation and turning chains throughout the pattern
- Slip stitch (sl st): A joining stitch referenced in the crochet abbreviations
- Double crochet (dc): The primary stitch used to build the body of the shawl
- Half double crochet (hdc): Listed in the stitch glossary for reference
- Triple crochet (tr): Included in the stitch options
- Double triple crochet (DB tr): Created by wrapping yarn three times around the hook before working as a triple crochet with one additional yarn over, used as a decorative element in the pattern
Materials
The Peace Sign Shawl requires medium weight yarn totaling approximately 600 yards. The pattern specifically suggests Red Heart Unforgettable yarn, with 2 balls recommended for the standard finished size. An H crochet hook is used to work the stitches, and a tapestry needle is needed for finishing and weaving in ends. The pattern notes that gauge is not important for this project, and you have flexibility to use any weight of yarn you prefer—simply adjust the number of peace sign pattern repeats to achieve your desired finished measurements.
