Crochet Victorian Shawl With Fringe Free Pattern

Crochet Victorian Shawl With Fringe Free Pattern

Hi everyone, this week I am bringing to you a crochet Victorian shawl with fringe (free pattern). This new crochet shawl is part of my Vintage Crochet Series. I love vintage crochet so much, and it is so much fun to share these designs with you. This new vintage crochet installment is inspired by the Victorian Era, which is one of  my favorite eras in terms of fashion and crochet.

The video tutorial for this project can be found here:

Crochet Victorian Shawl With Fringe Free Pattern: A New Vintage Crochet Series Installment

My Vintage Crochet Series is definitely one of my favorite parts of designing crochet patterns. This new project is inspired by the Victorian Era. If you love vintage crochet shawls, you can check out my Fantine Shawl and The Delicate Rose Shawl.

This crochet project is inspired by the Victorian Era (1837-1901). Shawls during the Victorian Era were very popular, with V shaped shawls being very popular. Fringes were also very popular at that time; this rectangular shawl with fringes is also part of my Vintage Crochet Series. This shawl also features fringes, and is so beautiful.

I wanted to recreate a shawl that reflected the beauty and delicacy of the Victorian Era. The Victorian Era is not the only era that I get inspired by.

Crochet Victorian Shawl With Fringe Free Pattern: A Simple Feminine Project

This crochet project is perfect for beginners. It is so beautiful and feminine, and looks perfect in every season. I love feminine crochet designs. This romantic hair ribbon is a super feminine project that is also part of my Vintage Crochet Series.

Feminine crochet designs are so important to me. I love anything dainty and feminine, especially accessories such as shawls and hair accessories for example.

I used Rico Creative Wool Degrade in shade Powder. This yarn is so perfect, and contains 70% acrylic and 30% wool. This is such a beautiful yarn to work with! I have already used this yarn before. This yarn is soft and fine. It is considered a light 3/DK yarn, and is great to crochet with. This yarn creates a lightweight and delicate projects.

I hope you enjoy this crochet project as much as I did. Let me know in the comments what you think of this project!

Fringes

For this part of the project, you will be needing your book and yarn.

Take your yarn and wrap around your book twice. Snip off your yarn at the bottom.

With the help of your hook, attach your piece of yarn to the first corner of the shawl, securing it as seen in picture below. Place a fringe across the V side of the shawl, placing these fringes at about 2 centimeters from each other.
