A Light and Lacy Shawl: Free Crochet Pattern

Posted on April 19, 2020July 1, 2023 by Simply Hooked by Janet

You will love this easy lacy spring shawl crochet pattern!

Have you ever purchased a yarn not knowing what you were going to make with it? It was so pretty and nice that you purchased it without having a project in mind.

Well the initial yarn used in this project was a yarn that I had purchased back in 2018 with no idea what to make with it.

Original yarn used for this shawl in 2020 – Premier Yarns Luna.

I attempted a scarf at one point but half way through that project I decided that this yarn was not the yarn for that specific scarf design.

That half finished scarf design then sat on my yarn shelf for many months until I was recently inspired. I decided to challenge myself with using up some yarn I already had in my stash.

Pattern Details:

I am so happy with how this spring shawl turned out with this specific yarn and I am so glad this yarn has now been used to create something beautiful!

This shawl uses a DK weight 3 yarn. The first sample of this spring shawl used Luna by Premier Yarns. This yarn is a self striping yarn. That means it creates rows of different colors without the need to the use a new skein of yarn in order to change color.

The newest updated sample of this shawl uses Premier Bloom DK.

The main stitch used in this pattern is called the Y-stitch. This stitch is what makes this a lacy shawl design. The Y-stitch is worked by using 3 stitches together. The treble crochet stitch, the double crochet stitch and a chain stitch.

I hope you enjoy making this shawl and if you like this design you may also like my Seaside Shawl! You can read about the Seaside Shawl HERE.

      This pattern is difficult to understand. Ch 1, (2 sc in next) 3 times, sc in each st and ch sp across, turn โ€“ 11 sc. Do you increase in only first 3 and sc to the end?

      I have been crocheting for 57 years and I’ve tried numerous times to follow the written pattern. I’m sorry to say this but I was unable to understand the written pattern. So I will look else where.

      Why when I want to print a pattern do I have to put up with all the comments from 100 other people? Don’t intend to be rude but all the comments WASTE ink & paper.

        Hello, are you just trying to print straight from my site? I’m not sure where you are seeing all of these comments. I only see 2 comments for this pattern…Depending on your browser and printing options you should be able to choose the certain pages you want to print.
