Tender Celeste Crochet Shawl with Boho Fringe FREE Pattern

Tender Celeste Crochet Shawl with Boho Fringe FREE Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl

This is a super simple and easy to memorize top down crochet shawl. It works up quickly with worsted weight yarn and a J/10 (6mm) crochet hook. Makes a great last minute gift, too! The twisted fringe adds a boho touch to this gorgeous, organic cotton shawl.

Make sure you check out any of the 3 tutorial videos made for this shawl: regular speed for right handed or left handed crocheters, and slower speed for beginners.

What you will need:

• 420 yds (384m) #4 dk weight yarn
• J/10 (6mm) crochet hook
• Fringe twister (optional) I found mine HERE
• Stitch marker (optional)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Finished Size:

58 in (147.3cm) wide x 29 in (73.7cm) long, not including the 5 in (12.7cm) fringe

Gauge: 

Gauge is not critical for this project however I achieved gauge of 12 sts / 4 rows = 4 in (10cm) in established pattern after blocking.

Here are some suggested size recommendations for top down triangular shawls:

Suggested Shawl sizes:

Kerchief: 36 in (91cm) wide x 18 in (46cm) long

Shawlette: 24 in (61cm) – 30 in (76cm) wide x 48 in (122cm) to 60 in (152cm) wide

Full sized shawl: 36 in (91cm) – 40 in (102cm) long x 72 in (183cm) to 80 in (203cm) wide

In the video tutorial, I used Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand Yarn in color dusty blue.

Use the yarn estimate guide on page 3 to determine the amount of yarn you will need to make this shawl  in a similar size with various weights of yarn.

Stitch Guide: 

Chain (ch), and double crochet (dc).

Pattern notes: 

• Weave in loose ends as work progresses
• Turn work at the end of each row.
• Have fun! Remember the point of being creative is to enjoy it!

Rows 6 – 25: rep rows 4 and 5 ten more times. Fasten off.

Fringe: cut (51 x 4 = 204) pieces of yarn 18″ long. Using 4 strands at a time, evenly attach fringe to long V edge of shawl with a slip knot. You should have approx 51 fringes across row 25 (or the lower V edge of shawl).

With fringe twister, attach four strands of each fringe in each of 2 clamps. Twist 20 times. Remove fringe without letting the twist go, and tie all 48strands of the fringe together in a knot, leaving as little of yarn left over as possible (approx 1/2″). The two sets of twists will twist on each other again for a doubled twist (like a rope). Repeat for each 4-strand fringe. With sharp scissors trim the edges of each fringe. Add a few drops of fray check for the raw edges.
