Crochet Edwardian Alice Shawl Free Pattern: A Delicate Vintage Shawl

This shawl is part of my Vintage Crochet Series. This crochet series features lots of accessories from years gone by, and I am so excited to bring you this Edwardian inspired shawl. Crocheted with a light 3 yarn, this shawl is very delicate, perfect in all seasons. 

This crochet shawl features a rectangular shape, and a filet crochet design. It is very pretty and feminine, and I love it so much! A few weeks ago, I crocheted the Vintage Beauty Shawl. Inspired by the Victorian era, this latest addition to the Vintage Crochet Series has been very popular since it’s release. It features a triangular shape and an intricate crocheted border.

This new crochet shawl is inspired by the Edwardian Era. The Edwardian Era, often called “the Gilded Age”, spans a period from 1901 until 1910 in the United Kingdom. It is often represented by delicate and fine accessories, jewel toned colors, and long rectangular shawls that looked elegant and feminine. 

Crochet Edwardian Alice Shawl Free Pattern: A Beautiful Accessory

Long lines and jewel tones were very popular during the Edwardian Era. This is why I chose to crochet a long and elegant rectangular shawl to represent this era. I love the finished result! Indeed, I used a fuschia color for the main part of the shawl, before using a pale pink yarn as a delicate fine edging all across the shawl.

A simple shell stitch edging is crocheted all the way around the project. This adds a lot of elegance and softness to the project. I love the overall effect of this wrap, and I hope you do too! The Edwardian Era is one of my favorite periods to be inspired by. 

The Madeleine Shawl I crocheted in 2020 is one of my favorite projects to date, and it also was inspired by the Edwardian Era. It also features a rectangular shape and a shell stitch pattern. Please do check it out as I am sure you will love this project too.

Do not fasten off.

Shell stitch edging

Round 1:

Ch 1 (=does not count as a stitch), and place SCs all along the first “side” of the wrap; once you reach the corner, place 2 SCs together before turning your project sideways and placing SCs all along the second “side” of the wrap.

Repeat this process of placing SCs all along the four sides of the wrap, making sure you space them evenly as you go along. Always place 2 SC into each corner of the project.

The total number of SCs you crochet around this project should be a multiple of 9.

Once you place your last SC into the project, slip stitch into the 1^st ch at beginning of round.

Round 2: Chain 1, SC into first stitch; sk 4 stitches; [place 9 DC into the next st (=shell), sk 4 stitches, place a SC into next st] until last 5 stitches. Sk 4 stitches, place a SC into last stitch.

Fasten off and tidy up all loose ends.
