Product Description
This beginner triangle shawl pattern is easy to make smaller or larger.
Simply crochet a repeat of R2 an even number of times - this will allow the edging to work for the shawl.
This is crocheted in a lighter weight yarn, so the shawl is also lighter weight when you are wearing it. It is not heavy like a blanket.
This simple shawl is an everyday shawl. Something you can make and wear for comfort, with your cozy pants, or just to keep the chill off when you are sitting on your back deck enjoying a cup of coffee (or glass of your favorite wine).
This shawl will also work well as a Prayer Shawl or for donation purposes.
I designed this slightly larger because I am larger myself (a petite 3X) and I wanted a shawl I could wear out on my back deck!
My sister, Kelley, is modelling the shawl for the photos and she is much daintier and a size Small . It is an oversized shawl for her.
