Molten Lava 2.0 Crochet Shawl FREE Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl
This shawl was an exciting exploration for me. Turning a pretty lace stitch pattern into a top down shaped triangular shawl involves figuring out how to make a single increase on either side and a double increase down the center. My goal was to make it look seamless and effortless, without compromising the beauty of the design. For an edging, I created a larger scale of the 3petal floral motif. Make sure to block each petal separately for a perfectly framed, finished shawl. The shawl has a 4 row repeat that is easy to memorize once you get established.

When using the worsted weight yarn (like in the video), would you still do the same number of rows before doing the edging? Thank you!
Depending on your gauge and preferred project size, you might want to adjust how many rows to completion. Just be sure you end on the same row repeat as the original to do the edging.
~Kristin
Love this pattern. I get so many compliments when I wear it. Love the beautiful petal edging. Be So Fine yarn makes this so elegant, must use it. I also added the beads.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for choosing my patterns. xoxo, Kristin
Beautiful! Do you realize that there is no Row 16?
There is a row 16. If you have any other questions, please let me know 🙂
