Product Description
A nice snuggly shawl that whips up in a jiffy, choose your favourite colours and make it your own…
Pattern includes full written directions complete with photo tutorial of special stitches.
✪ Yarn: 550 yards of DK yarn. I used Stylecraft Special DK for mine and used a light steam blocking to set the size and shaping:
Yarn A: Copper (1029) Yarn B: Parchment (1218) Yarn C: Claret (1123) Yarn D: Camel (1420) Yarn E: Midnight (1011)
But you can use most DK weight yarns for this pattern.
Ricicles Shawl by Sandra Paul
What is Being Made
The Ricicles Shawl is a triangular crochet shawl designed by Sandra Paul and published by Cherry Heart Designs. This is a top-down construction pattern that creates a snuggly, wearable accessory. The shawl is worked in rows, making it an accessible project for crafters looking to expand their crochet skills while still achieving a polished, finished garment.
Yarn and Materials
The Ricicles Shawl uses a total of approximately 600 yards of DK weight yarn distributed across five different colors. The recommended yarn is Stylecraft Special DK, with the following color options: Copper (1029), Parchment (1218), Claret (1123), Camel (1420), and Midnight (1011). Approximately 120 yards of each color is used throughout the design. The pattern recommends wool or cotton-based yarn for best results, though yarn substitutions of similar weight are possible.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
This pattern incorporates special crochet stitches beyond basic single and double crochet, making it suitable for crocheters with intermediate skills. The pattern includes photo tutorials for the special stitches used, helping crafters understand and execute each technique correctly. The top-down, row-by-row construction method allows the shawl to grow progressively from the neckline downward, a classic approach for triangular shawl designs.
Skill Level and Pattern Format
The Ricicles Shawl is rated as Easy/Intermediate, making it ideal for crocheters who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to learn new techniques. The downloadable PDF pattern includes written directions in both UK and US crochet terminology, ensuring accessibility for international crafters. Photo tutorials are provided throughout the pattern to support visual learners, and guidance on weaving in ends and other finishing techniques is included to help crafters complete their project professionally.
