Hi Everyone!π
Today I would like to share with you my Hibiscus Sorbet Shawl crochet pattern. This simple yet elegant lightweight triangle shawl is perfect for transitional weather or layering year-round. Designed with Alize Bella Ombre Batik yarn, the gentle gradient adds seamless color flow that enhances the stitch definition.
The shawl is worked in back and forth rows from the top center down.
The pattern is worked using crochet stitches such as: chain, single crochet, double crochet, front post double crochet and V-stitch.
All you need to start is one skein of your favourite fingering weight yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook.
