Intermediate crochet pattern for a vintage-style shawl, crocheted in a feminine lace pattern with a pretty texture. Just two simple rows are repeated to create this triangular wrap, making it very relaxing to make. The border is easy to follow, with no counting, guaranteeing a stress-free finale to your finished shawl.

The pattern is written in both American and British UK crochet terms (two separate Pdfs) in easy-to-read language with helpful notes and explanations of all the stitches, so that you can crochet with confidence throughout. I've also included tutorial photos for the first pattern rows so that you can check your work.
The skill level is given as Intermediate. A little experience of lace patterns would be helpful but is not essential.
This crocheted shawl pictured here has been created using Light (DK) yarn, however the pattern could be made using any yarn weight of your choice with the appropriate hook sizes to achieve a soft drape.
I wrote this pattern for the wild Irish summers we experience here on coast. I wanted something warm but light, easy to wear loose or snug depending on the wind. The weather can change on a flash in Ireland so it's best to be prepared - in the most feminine way possible of course!
