Product Description
This pattern is available for free on Mooglyblog, or you can purchase the easy to print PDF here!
Fortune's Shawlette was inspired by the ubiquitous corner to corner stitch, aka the diagonal box stitch. But of course I had to add my own twist to the idea, creating a lacier, more open, summer ready stitch pattern.
The result is gorgeous, and just right for year round - bunch it up for warmth, stretch it out for a light as air layer on the shoulders. If you want a bigger shawl, you could try a thicker yarn, or even use the same yarn and add more rows - it's super easy, and once you get started, it'll fly off the hook!

Fortune's Shawlette by Moogly
What is Being Made
Fortune's Shawlette is a crocheted triangular shawlette designed by Tamara Kelly for Moogly. This versatile shoulder wrap measures 52 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 33 inches along each side, making it an ideal layering piece for year-round wear. The shawlette can be bunched up for added warmth during cooler months or stretched out to create a light, airy layer perfect for summer styling.
Inspiration and Design Concept
Fortune's Shawlette draws inspiration from the popular corner-to-corner stitch, also known as the diagonal box stitch. Designer Tamara Kelly reimagined this traditional technique with a creative twist, developing a lacier and more open stitch pattern specifically designed for warm-weather wear. The resulting design combines the structural appeal of the box stitch with an elegant, breathable aesthetic that earned the pattern its fortunate name.
Techniques and Stitches
This intermediate-level crochet project features a modified corner-to-corner construction method. The pattern utilizes a diagonal box stitch worked in an open, lacy variation that creates visual interest while maintaining the geometric structure characteristic of this technique. The stitch pattern is designed to be intuitive once started, allowing the project to progress quickly as you become familiar with the repeat.
The shawlette is worked in a triangular shape, expanding from one corner outward. The pattern can be easily customized by adding additional rows to create a larger finished piece, making it adaptable to different preferences and yarn choices.

Project Customization Options
The Fortune's Shawlette pattern offers flexibility for crafters seeking different finished sizes.

Both approaches are straightforward to execute once you establish the pattern repeat, allowing the project to expand easily without complicated adjustments.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle stitch patterns with more complexity and visual texture. The corner-to-corner construction method and lacy box stitch variation require comfort with basic crochet techniques and the ability to follow pattern repeats consistently.
