Lavender Blooms Shawl
This triangular shawl gets its name from the bloom shaped cluster of stitches used in the pattern, and from the color of the yarn I used. The shawl is made with two colors, which change at the end of every row, but there is no cutting the yarn. A technique common in Japanese crochet is used to make the color changes work.
Size:
Any size you want. The sample is 46” tip to tip and 24” down the center
Yarn:
Two colors of any lace/fingering, sock, sport, or DK yarn that is not too fuzzy or nubby. The sample was made with a fingering weight yarn.
Yardage will vary depending on your yarn and finished size.
Hook:
Use a hook a few sizes larger than recommended for your yarn to achieve a more lacey look. The sample was made with a US 8/H/5.00 mm.
Gauge:
Not so important. Work about 10 rows and take a good look, if you want your stitches to be more lacey, use a bigger hook. If they look too lacey/loose, use a smaller hook.

Yarn needle
