Crochet Shawl Design with Leafy Stitch Pattern Coming Soon

My new shawl design is coming along nicely! Look how far I've already worked through the Whirl yarn cake. Always such a pleasure to work with this yarn as it works up so quickly and who doesn't like a quick result :) And the stitch pattern is so beautiful and relaxing. I think I'll have finished this shawl by the end of next week. After I've used up all the Whirl yarn, I'll start on the matching Whirlette and use that up as well. I think the total length will be just under 2 metres so it'll be long enough to wrap it around your neck snuggly or to drape it loosely around your shoulders and let it flow.

The stitch pattern is 12-stitch and 6-row repeat, so once you've worked a few rows you can just relax and see the pattern develop without having to count too much. It looks rather leafy don't you think? The gorgeous green shades are just perfect for it. The stitch pattern does require blocking to really open it up. What I do is I give it a good block every time I've added another 50cm or so, because I find it hard to block a piece as large as this shawl is going to be in its entirety.

I'm sure in a week or so I can show you the end result as I have only about 50 more centimetres to go. I'll leave you with some info on the yarn and hope to see you back here next week.

Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette yarn

Both yarns are a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, which makes for lightweight and breathable shawls, or any wearables really. Whirl is a gradient yarn with a very generous twist so that it works up really quickly and it helps prevent splitting. Whirlette yarn comes in single colours, matching the Whirl shades. 

The shade cards show all the 54 Whirl yarn cakes and 44 Whirlettes available.
