Product Description
For my Inner Sparkle shawl I used two skeins of Miss Babs Estrellita (400 yards/100 grams) in the color “Confetti”.
With 800 yards I designed a large right-angle triangular shawl with an interesting lace border on the straight side edge of the triangle, and a simple mesh making up the body of the shawl. I kept the stitch patterns fairly simple so that the sparkles and the color are the main feature of the shawl. The lace stitch pattern that borders the straight side edge mirrors the stitch pattern for the body of the shawl, and one stitch pattern easily flows into the next.
The main stitch pattern for the majority of the shawl is a four-row repeat that you can easily memorize so that you can sit back and enjoy a relaxing crochet project.
And, Inner Sparkle has a generous size for wrapping and wearing in variety of ways. So, find that special yarn and release your Inner Sparkle!

Inner Sparkle Crochet Shawl by CJ Brady Designs
What is Being Made
Inner Sparkle is a large right-angle triangular crochet shawl designed to showcase the beauty of hand-dyed yarn with integrated sparkle elements. This intermediate-level project uses approximately 800 yards of yarn to create a sophisticated accessory that emphasizes color and shimmer as the primary design features.
Design and Construction
The shawl features a distinctive right-angle triangle silhouette with thoughtfully placed lace detailing along the straight side edge. The body of the shawl is constructed using simple mesh stitching, allowing the yarn's hand-dyed colorway and sparkle to remain the focal point. The lace stitch pattern that borders the straight edge mirrors the body stitch pattern, creating a cohesive design where one stitch pattern flows seamlessly into the next.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches Used
This project employs straightforward crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The primary construction method uses a four-row repeat stitch pattern that forms the mesh body of the shawl. The lace border incorporates complementary stitch work that echoes the body pattern, creating visual harmony throughout the design. By keeping stitch patterns fairly simple, the designer allows the yarn characteristics to shine as the main aesthetic feature.
