We are so very thrilled to present the first of many … a crochet pattern! Soft bursts of colour and simple stitch patterning come together in a beautiful interplay with Stargaze. Inspired by our popular Starburst knit shawl, this crochet shawlette, designed by the wonderful Lindsey Stephens, is the perfect accessory for every person who craves delight and comfort.
This shawlette is crocheted flat in ever increasing rows, while the beginning linked double crochet creates a nice edge without the standard gap that happens with a beginning chain 3. The pattern is written in US crochet terminology and is the perfect pattern for beginner colourwork.
