Crochet Romantic Mesh Shawl Free Pattern: The Inspiration

I was inspired to crochet this new shawl for the Spring and Summer seasons. Indeed, I wanted a lightweight and delicate shawl for this new season. Last year, I crocheted the Summer Sunset Shawlette which is perfect for the warmer weather. The Vintage Lavender Wrap is also perfect for Spring and Summer, and both these crochet shawl projects feature the lovely shell stitch.

This year however I wanted to explore new crochet techniques. Indeed, I have often crocheted shawls that are worked from the bottom point to the top, such as the Valentina Shawl and this Vintage Prayer Shawl. I also explored the designs of half circle crescent shawls such as The Polina Half Circle Shawl. This has been one of my favorite crocheted shawl designs to date. Let me know if you have ever made any of these easy wraps, perfect for Spring and Summer!

Going back to our Romantic Mesh Shawl which I am bringing to you this week, I wanted to explore a new technique for creating shawls. Indeed, I wanted to crochet a new shawl starting from the top (widest point), and then decreasing to the very bottom (smallest point). This was a very new crochet technique for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering this new technique. I will definitely be crocheting many more V shaped crochet shawls using this technique!

Crochet Romantic Mesh Shawl Free Pattern: The Yarn

For this project, I used one of my favorite yarns, Lion Brand’s Coboo yarn. This is such a wonderful and soft yarn to work with! I have used this yarn so often already, and I have many more crochet projects in the works which feature this lovely yarn.

I crocheted this lovely Cottagecore bandana with this yarn last year. This was such a fun project to make, and I definitely recommend crocheting bandanas as they look so delicate and feminine. I also crocheted this delicate Summer Poncho two years ago, which is a lovely project, perfect for Spring and Summer.

Coboo yarn is perfect for the warmer months, as it is 50% cotton and 50% rayon from bamboo. It is so soft and works up beautifully for many projects. This delicate envelope purse I designed a few summers ago is also a great project using this lovely yarn.

Let me know if you enjoy this yarn as much as I do. I knew I had to crochet a lightweight shawl with this yarn, and I am so pleased with the result! This project features the Arched Mesh Stitch, which is an openwork stitch. This is perfect for accessories such as ponchos, wraps, and scarves. I really enjoyed crocheting this new stitch, and look forward to using it again.

Pattern

Make a slip knot and ch 221

1: Place a SC into 2^nd ch from hook, and next ch until end of chain.

2: Ch 3 (=SC+ch 2), turn your work, sk 1 st, DC into next st, ch 2, sk 1 st, SC into next st, [ch 2, sk 1 st, DC into next st, ch 2, sk 1 st, SC into next st] until eor you should finish row on a SC).

3: Turn your work, and sl st through the 1^st ch sp, place a DC into SC from previous row. Place a stitch marker into the DC you just made. [Ch 2, sk ch sp, DC into SC from previous row, ch 2, SC into DC from previous row until last chain space at eor, which you should leave unworked].

4-55: Repeat row 3 throughout, always moving your stitch marker from row to row.

Once you have completed all of your decrease rows, you should have your last row (row 55) left with 3 chain spaces framed by 5 stitches.

Do not fasten off, remove stitch markers.

Shell stitch edging

With yarn still attached to your shawl, do not turn your work, you will be working your shell stitch edging along the same edge where you just placed your last st.

Sl st through ch sp, and a ch 3 (=DC) into this space; place 4 DC into that same sp (=5 DC total, which creates your first shell st); place a SC into next stitch from previous row to anchor down project.

[Go directly into next ch sp, and place 5 DC into that, and SC into next st] until eor.

Fasten off.

You will only have part of the shawl’s edging done.

Attach yarn to the other corner of the shawl, and ch 3 (=DC), place 4 DC into first ch sp. Place a SC into next st from previous row, [place 5 DC into next ch sp, and SC into next st] until you reach the first part of the shell stitch edging.

To finish off row, sl st through the first ch 3 of the shell stitch, and fasten off.

Tidy up all loose ends.
