Easy Summer Shawl Pattern Inspiration
Shapes. Lots of shapes were my inspiration for the designs in this book. I like regular patterns and after completing It’s a Wrap, I had a recurring idea to make a bunch of shawls of different shapes. Summer Shawls is some of that inspiration.
Of course, someone will say, a triangle is a triangle. They are not. Definitely not in crochet shawl patterns. To create the various shapes used in this book, and related designs, using increasing stitches changes the shape of a design, the fabric can then again make another difference.
For the names of the designs in this book, and this whole collection I have chosen female names that mean ‘power, strength’. After the last 9ish months, they really resonated with me, plus they are pretty and on theme.
Beginner Summer Shawls yarn & materials
Would you be surprised if I said I used 1 cake, and my 4mm hook to make all of these designs. Probably not if your not new to me, lol. Grab your fav cake, the hook that works best for you with that cake and get started. A little while later you will have a beautiful shawl. All the designs in this book can be easily increased, or worked with an alternative yarn weight being mindful of the differences that can occur.

Adira

Kendra
The Kenda Summer Shawl Crochet Pattern is a variation on the Bellatrix Shawl. Adding texture with post stitches and openness with V Stitches, this is a twist on a traditional fav.
Hera
Vortex number 2 or 3 that was designed in this collection is Hera. With a steeper curve this features an old favourite in the stitch pattern and works up super quickly. It would also work well for extending yarn amounts without becoming too humoungous!
Nya
Do you heart coffee? Nya is a heart shaped shawl, the coffee pun why not. With a simple increase Nya is a wide and deep heart shaped shawl that would look fab in any colour or fibre.
Kelsey
Kelsey is a similar shape to Cleo, however it has more points and I still don’t know what to call this shape but my kids say it’s bat shaped!
Imara
A subtly textured crescent shawl, Imara features the crossed double crochet. The design grows from both the inside and outside edges of this shawl.
Meredith
Meredith is a lacy rectangle summer shawl pattern. With an lacy repeat this beginner crochet pattern will look fab in a single colour.
Lenna
Using post stitches and a featuring a crescent shape, Lenna is one of my favourite makes form this collection. The visual texture and curves make this easy to work up and will look fab in any colour.
Minka
Minka is a lacy vortex shawl, or what I like to call a conch shell. This is a great crochet shawl pattern for making in front of your fav show.
Sage
Sage is a rectangle summer shawl pattern featuring the crossed double crochet stitch. Easy to adapt and work up in multiple lengths and widths.
Ailia
Lacy and shaped like a sail, Ailia is made using alternating fan or v type stitches.
