I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest design, the Bridgette Shawl! It is available on KnitPicks and Ravelry.
About Bridgette
Bridgette is a shallow crescent shawl designed to keep the shoulders warm during the transition seasons. Together, the textured body and lacy geometric border form a versatile accessory that can be worn with both dressy and casual outfits.
Recommended yarn:
Bridgette was designed in Comfy Fingering Weight, a lightweight cotton-acrylic blend that is squishy soft, yet sturdy enough for everyday wear.
Skills required:
To crochet the Bridgette Shawl, you need to know the following:
- the basic stitches (ch, sc, sl st, hdc, dc, tr)
- basic increases and decreases
- back loop only stitches
If you can do all three of those things, you can crochet this shawl! Bridgette is suited for both beginner and experienced crocheters.
Construction:
The body of Bridgette is worked sideways. A varying increase/decrease rate forms the outer curved edge. The other edge remains flat throughout. A round of single crochet surrounds the body, then the border is worked along the curved edge.
