Sometimes as I’m designing, I fall in love with a certain detail or texture and I try to figure out how to add it my design. In this case, I was working with linked stitches and discovered how much I liked the Linked Double Treble (LDtr). This stitch is worked over two stitches and creates a lovely texture that also opens up in the most amazing way after blocking.
Because this stitch and the whole shawl pattern is intermediate, I created a video to guide you through the process of making the shawl. This will be especially useful for beginners:
To purchase the pattern, you can find it here on Ravelry, or here on Payhip. The pattern has detailed notes and will take you through the shawl step-by-step.
For the yarn in this pattern, I was inspired by The Frosted Stitch. Her yarn is amazing and so is she! Her colorways are so inspiring and I find myself designing based on her yarn. I reached out to her for this design and she’s wonderfully agreed to create kits for this pattern. When you purchase the pattern, you’ll see a coupon code that will get you a discount on the kits! This is not an affiliate sale – I just love her yarn so much! Here’s where you can find the kits!
For this pattern, you’ll need about 920 yards of fingering weight yarn. If you choose to do the optional border or tassels, you may need additional yarn. The great thing about The Frosted Stitch Yarn is that her two sock weight yarns – Icy Sock and Snowflake Sock – both come in a whopping 460-470 yards per skein! You’ll need two to make this pattern. Additionally, you’ll need the following:
- 3.5mm (US E/4) traditional crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge
- 1-2 Stitch Markers as needed
- Scissors
- Tape measure (optional)
- Tapestry needle
- A pair of old earrings or extra yarn for tassels
- Pliers if you are using the old earrings
I wanted to try something different for my tassels, so I re-purposed an old pair of earrings to use instead. I love the weight of the earrings and it gives the shawl a different look.
Here’s how I attached the earrings:
I used a pair of pliers to separate the hook. You will want to make sure that your earrings have a small circle at the top to attach the yarn. I also recommend finding a pair of smooth earrings so that sharp edges don’t catch on your shawl.
Use the yarn tail to secure the earring in place. A few of my pattern testers also used tassels or other jewelry for the ends. Check out the #corinthianshawl on Instagram to see more. You can also follow me on IG here to see more of my designs.
This shawl is a whopping 76″ wide and 22″ long, yet it’s still super lightweight and folds up easily!
I hope you all enjoy making this pattern as much as I enjoyed designing it! Please leave a comment below if you make this or are planning on making it.
