Crochet Edwardian Era Shawl Free Pattern: The Inspiration

I love vintage crochet so much! Indeed, I really love crocheting projects inspired by past times and eras. Let me know if you love these projects as much as I do. The Edwardian Era is so inspiring to me for fashion. I love novels and films depicting the Edwardian Era, and the beautiful clothes and accessories described in these works are perfect for inspiration too!

The Edwardian Era is a historical era in England from 1901 to 1911 (or sometimes it is extended to 1918, the end of World War 1). I love this era for it’s subtle and modern elegance. It is also a very feminine era I think.

Some of my Regency Era shawls and wraps can be found on this blog. Indeed, you can find The Ingenue Shawl and The Sweet Love Regency Wrap by clicking on the links. These wraps are perfect and feminine too. 

The shape of this wrap is very much inspired by the Edwardian Era fashion, when wraps were long and narrow, giving this simple accessory as very feminine and dainty look, typical of this time in history. The Cherry Blossom Shawl is also a perfect example of this historical era.

Crochet Edwardian Era Shawl Free Pattern: The Yarn

For this project, I used Emu Treasure DK yarn in shade Baby Pink. This is a British DK/light 3 yarn which is 100% acrylic yarn; this yarn is perfect for shawls and wraps.

You can substitute this yarn very easily with Bernat Softee Baby yarn. I have used Softee Baby yarn many times before, and it is very soft and perfect for shawls. This Edwardian Era wrap is crocheted with Bernat Softee Baby yarn; this feminine shawl is also part of the Vintage Crochet Series.

Crochet The Romantic Knot Wrap is also a feminine crochet project made with Bernat Softee Baby. The Simple Purity Vintage Wrap looks beautiful in all seasons and is also a great project to make with this yarn. Both these wraps just mentioned are soothing to crochet, making them the perfect go to crochet project if you are looking to relax. This easy baby blanket is also made with Bernat Softee Baby yarn, and is a great baby blanket project to make.

I hope you enjoy this new Vintage Crochet Series installment. Let me know in the comments if you make this project.

Single Crochet Edging

Once you have completed the main part of the shawl, you are going to be placing SC all across the 4 sides of the shawl.

Ch 1, turn your work, and place a SC across the first edge/side of the shawl. Once your reach the corner, turn your shawl perpendicularly so as to work on the other side of the shawl. Please make sure you place SC evenly all along this edge as this is the row side of the shawl, and there are no specific stitches into which you will place your SC.

Repeat this process until you have gone around the four sides of your shawl.

Once you have gone all the way around, slip stitch to the first chain 1 and fasten off.

Tidy up all loose ends.
