The Peafowl Feathers Shawl FREE pattern release
Hi all,
Guess what's today? It's Free Pattern Friyay today and I'm bringing you another free pattern for your collection.
This time it's a shawl pattern that I have been working on and I must admit the process wasn't easy as I made some wrong colour choices which just destroyed the design but it all worked out in the end.
I had a custom yarn cake made by Katherine from Quaint Craft Corner, you can find her Etsy shop HERE.
I used 3-ply yarn cake which was 160 grams @ 800 m long.
You can also search for a few alternatives online, I found Rico Degrade Yarn cake would work as a suitable alternative.
The shawl has a slightly different construction. You start working a triangle motif working around all three sides, then you work the border around 2 sides to increase the finished width.
I had this idea of a different construction in my head for a while. The yarn colours then inspired me to add a feather like border onto the shawl as they reminded me of a peacock.
I have found this gorgeous crochet edging on Pinterest by Nilza a De Souza Crochet and instantly fell in love with it. I've been searching the internet for hours to get to the original website where the pattern was posted but had no luck. You can see Nilza a De Souza Crochet YouTube channel HERE.
I hope you enjoy the pattern and if you do decide to make one, I'd love to see the finished shawls. You can share your finished makes over on Instagram and tag @bluestarcrochet.
Happy crafting

PATTERN NOTES
The shawl
starts with triangle motif worked into magic circle. The triangle forms main
body of the shawl. The border is then worked across the 2 sides of the triangle
leaving the 3rd side unworked which makes the triangle wider on 2
sides and creates a lovely triangular shawl shape.
It uses rows of
treble crochet and rows of 1 tr and 1 ch-sp. The ch-sp in lacy rows counts as 1
st throughout the pattern.

On the 3rd rows (red rows), I always end up 3 stitches short. Anyone else have that problem?
