I ♥ Crochet Shawls
I 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 :)

Absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful shawl. The white gives it a very delicate look, together with the perfect edging. Great job. And don't you just love old crochet books??
Lovely. Creative. Little Miss 10 will feel like a princess wearing it.
I love it! Especially that edging. Now I'm wanting to make one too...
LOVE! What size of hook did you use?
Thanks so much everyone for your lovely comments,
Mariah - I used a 4.5mm hook :)
Gillian
what kind & size of yard did you use?
Hi Mariah,
I used Patons Australia Sorrento Yarn, It is a Sport/5 ply with a slub (62% Rayon, 38% Cotton)
& a 4.5mm hook.
hope this helps, Gillian :)
This is quite beautiful! It is so delicate, compared with the versions on Ravelry, which use heavier yarns. I think your edging is gorgeous.
