Faded Love Shawl Crochet Pattern. Instant digital download.

This shawl had a mind of its own and simply wanted to be.
I was designing something completely different when this came to life and with its vintage feel and a new colour palette it reminded me of a well loved piece that has faded over time and so the Faded Love Shawl was born.

Made with a lovely lacy shell pattern (which is easy to do) and a more intricate lacy edging, this shawl would look beautiful in an array of colours and feels feminine and elegant. Designed as a shawl, though you can also wear it as a large triangle scarf.


Level: Easy - Intermediate
Suitable for an advanced beginner who is comfortable with working with a lighter weight yarn and using chains, slip stiches, single, double and treble crochet.

Stitches used: double magic circle, ch, sl st, sc, dc, tr.

You'll need (to make example shawl):
Approx. 710m (777yards) 4ply (fingering) yarn. I used Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply cotton in Parchment, Glacier and Orchid.
4mm hook

170cm (67 inches) wingspan and 80cm (31 1/2 inches) from the top to the centre point for example shawl.
