Phemonoe Crochet Shawl
What Is Being Made
Phemonoe is a generous, spiral-shaped wrap designed by Julie Blagojevich. This crochet shawl is an intermediate-level project that creates a beautiful crescent-based design, measuring 9 inches (23 cm) at its widest point and 56 inches (142 cm) tip to tip along the length. The finished piece is a versatile wrap suitable for layering and draping.
Design and Construction Techniques
The shawl is constructed using a distinctive two-part technique. The primary body is worked in repeating, nested crescents that spiral outward to achieve the desired length. Once the crescent foundation is complete, the design is finished with a lacy border worked in rows along the outside edge, adding an elegant finishing detail that frames the piece.
Stitches and Crochet Methods
The pattern utilizes half double crochet (hdc) as a primary stitch, combined with lacy stitch patterns to create the openwork aesthetic. The gauge is established at 14 hdc and rows 1-13 of pattern equaling 4 inches (10.16 cm) square, providing a clear reference for achieving proper sizing and drape.
