Shawl no.3......

I ♥ Crochet ShawlsI made this sweet one for my little miss 10
Being a shorter shawl it is quite versatile and she loves experimenting with ways to wear it, I must admit I enjoyed doing the same when I was photographing it :)
For the body of the shawl I used a pattern I found on Ravelry by Sharon Maher

The shawl is called 'It's just a triangle' and is a fantastic shawl for a beginner.

You can find the pattern on

Ravelry and on Laughing Purple Goldfish

Sharon has provided an Excellent tutorial :)

For the edging I wanted something very feminine and pretty

and I was recently given some of

my Nannas & Andrew's Grandmas crochet books - what a joy!

Most of them are lovely old Australian and English patterns.

I found the pattern for the edging in a very old Myart book

Crochet Edges by Myart 7th Edition Book No.2

(If you click on the pattern it will make it larger)

I love that it looks quite complex but is actually quite much simpler than it looks.

I found the pattern terms are in UK/Australian terms and they are slightly different to what I am used to...But easy enough to work out.

d = dc UK/Australian (sc US)

Ltr = dtr UK/Australian (tr US)

For this shawl I used Paton's Australia Sorrento yarn & a 4.5mm hook :)
