Crochet Shawl is a triangle shawl made from top to bottom. Its simple and happy crochet trip is created by the graphic textured lines and delicate lace textures.
Ideal with your chosen solid colour or a yarn that changes colour. For a chunkier hug, try it in a heavier weight yarn with a larger hook.
