Jo's Shawlette: Lace-Weight Crochet Shawlette by Julie Blagojevich
What is Being Made
Jo's Shawlette is a delicate crochet shawlette designed to showcase luxury yarns. This lace-edged wrap is an elegant accessory piece that works beautifully with specialty fibers, including those embellished with sequins or beads for added sparkle. The shawlette is named in honor of Jo, a talented knitter and designer. The finished dimensions are approximately 39 inches from tip to tip and 15.5 inches wide before blocking, expanding to 44 inches tip to tip after blocking.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
Jo's Shawlette employs lace-weight crochet techniques to create an airy, wisp-like wrap that maximizes the visual impact of precious fibers. The design is worked with half double crochet stitches as the primary stitch structure, creating a fabric with excellent drape and transparency. The lace-edged construction allows the delicate yarn to shine while maintaining structural integrity. This intermediate-level project requires blocking to achieve its full dimensions and optimal lace definition.
Stitches Used
- Half Double Crochet (hdc) – the primary stitch forming the base fabric
- Lace pattern stitches – creating the openwork, decorative edges characteristic of shawlette design
Yarn and Materials
Jo's Shawlette is designed for lace-weight yarn. The pattern calls for one hank of Shubui "Silk Cloud," a kid mohair and silk blend yarn in the Caffeine colorway, providing 330 yards (302 meters) in 25 grams. This lighter-than-air fiber blend creates the signature ethereal quality of the finished shawlette. The pattern specifies a size I crochet hook (5.25 mm) with a gauge of 13 half double crochet stitches and 12 rows measuring 4 inches (10.16 cm) square. Additional materials include a darning needle for weaving in ends and blocking tools to shape and set the lace pattern.
Difficulty Level
This shawlette is rated as an intermediate crochet project, suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to work with delicate lace-weight yarns and execute lace pattern techniques.
