Product Description
A very easy crochet shawl that mostly uses V-stitches and a slight variation of it that I called V-puff stitch.
The pattern is easy to memorize so that you will not have to constantly look at the instructions, so very relaxing!
Totally accessible for beginners too.
Materials– 3.5-mm (E-4 USA, 9 UK) Crochet Hook – One cake of Katia Concept Silk Degradé. I used color 302. This is a fingering weight (22wpi) yarn. One cake is about 656 yards (600 m). – Tapestry Needle
Yarn SubstitutionsYou can crochet the Proserpina V-Stitch Crochet Shawl with any yarn you like and the appropriate hook. If you use a much thicker yarn, your shawl is going to grow faster, so you will have to crochet fewer rows than the ones indicated in this pattern. For example, I crocheted one Proserpina Shawl using a cotton cake in Aran weight and a 5.5 mm crochet hook.

What is Being Made
The Proserpina Shawl is an intermediate-level crocheted triangular shawl designed by RaffamusaDesigns. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a sophisticated accessory using the V-stitch technique as the primary construction method. The shawl is worked in a fingering weight yarn, making it an elegant layering piece suitable for various occasions.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This shawl employs strategic increases worked in a V-stitch pattern to create its distinctive shape. The pattern uses a carefully planned increase sequence to achieve a flat, elongated silhouette. The construction logic centers on alternating rows: rows featuring V-stitch increases at both the beginning and end are alternated with rows containing no increases. This methodical approach ensures the shawl maintains proper proportions and lies flat when worn.
The pattern documentation focuses on detailed instructions for the foundational 18 rows, after which the established pattern logic allows crafters to continue working subsequent rows independently. This teaching approach helps intermediate crocheters understand the underlying structure rather than requiring line-by-line instructions for the entire project.
Stitches Used
- V-stitch (V-st) – The primary stitch forming the decorative and structural element of the shawl
- Double Crochet (Dc) – Used throughout the pattern for foundation and structure
- Chainless Double Crochet (Ch-less Dc) – A technique employed to create seamless transitions
- Single Crochet (Sc) – Used for shaping and finishing details
- Chain (Ch) – Used for foundational chains and increases
Materials and Tools
The Proserpina Shawl is worked with Katia Concept Silk Degradé yarn in color 302. This fingering weight yarn (22 wpi) provides a delicate, refined drape ideal for shawl construction. One cake contains approximately 656 yards (600 meters), providing ample yardage for the complete project. Crafters will need a 3.5-mm (E-4 USA, 9 UK) crochet hook to achieve proper gauge and fabric characteristics. A tapestry needle is required for weaving in yarn ends upon completion.
