Double Crochet All The Way Shawl

Double Crochet All The Way Shawl

What Is Being Made

The Double Crochet All The Way Shawl is a crocheted triangular wrap designed by Wilma Westenberg. This finished shawl measures 160 cm (70 inches) in width and 60 cm (33 inches) in height, making it a generous accessory suitable for layering or draping. The pattern uses a straightforward construction method that builds the shawl through repeated rows of consistent stitching.

Craft and Techniques

This project is created using the crochet technique, making it ideal for crafters of all skill levels. The pattern is classified as beginner-friendly, meaning it does not require advanced shaping, color changes, or complex stitch combinations. The construction method involves working in rows with consistent turning throughout the project. At the end of every row, the work is turned to begin the next row, creating a structured, predictable building process. The pattern uses US crochet terminology and includes a video tutorial available on wilmade.com for additional guidance.

Stitches Used

The shawl is constructed almost entirely using two fundamental crochet stitches:

• Chain (ch): Used to create the foundation and structural elements of the pattern
• Double Crochet (dc): The primary stitch throughout the entire project, giving the shawl its name and consistent texture. The first 3 chains at the beginning of each row count as 1 double crochet stitch, a standard technique for maintaining proper stitch height and structure

The stitch count for the pattern includes only the double crochet stitches and does not include the center chain-2 spaces, allowing for clear row-by-row tracking of progress.

Materials and Specifications

This pattern calls for 4-ply weight yarn, specifically 1 skein of Scheepjes Whirl (1000 meters / 220 grams total), providing ample yardage to complete the entire shawl. A 4mm crochet hook (US G/6) is used throughout the project. Additional materials include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends upon completion.

The gauge for this project is 16 double crochet stitches equal 10 cm (4 inches) in width, and 10 rows equal 10 cm (4 inches) in height. Maintaining consistent gauge ensures the finished shawl reaches the intended dimensions.
