Sihlau Shawlette by Zsuzsanna Makai
What Is Being Made
The Sihlau Shawlette is a reversible crocheted shawlette designed by Zsuzsanna Makai and created as a special gift for teachers at the preschool Sihlau in Adliswil near the river Sihl. This versatile accessory is designed to be worn as a lightweight shoulder wrap or shawl, with the unique quality of looking attractive both with and without blocking. The shawlette features an adjustable length, allowing crocheters to customize the finished size according to personal preference.
Crochet Techniques Used
This intermediate-level crochet project employs several fundamental and intermediate techniques to create its reversible structure. The pattern utilizes dc-clusters (three double crochet stitches worked together in the same stitch) as a primary design element, which creates texture and visual interest while maintaining the reversible quality of the finished piece. The use of yarn over techniques and strategic stitch spacing contributes to the shawlette's drape and flexibility. The fully charted pattern format allows crocheters to follow visual representations of each row, making it accessible for intermediate skill levels while maintaining design complexity.
Stitches Used
- Chain stitch (ch) – used for foundation and turning chains
- Single crochet (sc) – provides structure and stability
- Double crochet (dc) – creates the primary fabric and forms dc-clusters
- Dc-cluster – three double crochet stitches worked together in the same stitch for textural definition
- Yarn over (Yo) – fundamental technique used throughout
Materials and Specifications
The Sihlau Shawlette is designed with flexibility in yarn choice. The sample shown in the pattern was created using fingering weight yarn totaling 436 yards (400 meters) and weighing 3.53 ounces (100 grams). A 4.5mm crochet hook was used for the sample, sized slightly larger than typically suggested for the yarn weight to achieve the desired drape and reversible effect. Gauge is noted as not important for this project, making it an excellent choice for crocheters who prefer flexibility in their finished dimensions. The sample shawlette measures 80 inches in length with a maximum width of 12 inches at its widest point, though these dimensions are adjustable based on yarn choice and desired length.
Pattern Format
The complete pattern is fully charted, with charts created using crocharts.com. This visual charting method provides clear guidance for following the stitch sequences and pattern repeats, making it particularly useful for intermediate crocheters who may prefer visual references alongside written instructions.
