Alayna Crochet Shawl from Motif Magic by Kristin Omdahl
This is a spectacularly fun and festive use of colorwork and lace in a crochet shawl. You can make this gorgeous shawl in one color or use a trio of colors for extra fun! This top down construction shawl moves quickly with X-stitches and the shawl is fringed with beautiful star-shaped, three-round motifs that are joined as you go. The pattern includes line by line written instructions, schematic drawings, multiple crochet charts and a comprehensive series of video tutorials that you can watch below. Each stitch used in this project is demonstrated completely in its own video, and the project is separated into four videos for each component to learning how to make this beautiful shawl.
The Alayna Crochet Shawl is featured in Kristin Omdahl’s newest book, “Motif Magic: 17 Join As You Go Projects to Knit and Crochet”. To get a flavor for the entire book, please enjoy this pattern excerpted into a digital download below and enter to win a copy of Motif Magic!
