Crochet Victorian Shawl With Hood Free Pattern: The Inspiration

This lovely and feminine Victorian shawl is part of my Vintage Crochet Series. Last week I released the Emerald Victorian Shawl, which is also a beautiful vintage shawl directly inspired by the Victorian Era. The Victorian Era is a historical time in England ranging from 1837 to 1901. I love the nineteenth century, which I studied for my Master’s Degree in History of Art.

A few months ago I released the Victorian Cape which features a very feminine half circle shape also and a delicate ribbon across the top. This is a lovely design that can be made very fast too.

Over the years, I have crocheted quite a few Victorian inspired projects. The Belle Victorian Shawl is also a great project inspired by the nineteenth century and my favorite book Les Miserables. As you can see , these crochet projects are very feminine and perfect for all seasons.

Crochet Victorian Shawl With Hood Free Pattern: A Hooded Project

This crochet shawl features a lovely hood. I love hooded shawls or wraps, as these are so elegant as well as practical. This is a great project for beginners and adds a little extra je ne sais quoi tu an otherwise simple project.

The Maiden Hooded Shawl is also a great project for beginners featuring a hood. This crochet pattern is both feminine and elegant, perfect for all seasons. Hoods add a lot of flair to many patterns, and that’s why I love them.

Abbreviations

Ch: chain

St: Stitch

Sl st: slip stitch

Sk: Skip

DC: Double Crochet (UK Treble Crochet)

SC: Single Crochet (UK Double Crochet)

EOR: End of row

To begin

To start, make a slip knot. Ch 4, sl st through 1^st stitch to form a ring.

1: Ch 3 (=DC), 6 DC into ring (=7 DC in total).

2: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, place a DC into 1^st DC from previous row (=2 DC in same stitch), 2 DC into each DC from previous row until eor (=14 DC).

3: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, place a DC into 1^st DC from previous row (=2 DC in same stitch), [DC into next DC, 2 DC into next DC] until eor.

4: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, place a DC into 1^st DC from previous row (=2 DC in same stitch), [DC into next 2 DC, 2 DC into next DC] until eor.

5: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, place a DC into 1^st DC from previous row (=2 DC in same stitch), [DC into next 3 DC, 2 DC into next DC] until eor.

Row 6

6: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, place a DC into 1^st DC from previous row (=2 DC in same stitch), [DC into next 4 DC, 2 DC into next DC] until eor.

7: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, place a DC into 1^st DC from previous row (=2 DC in same stitch), [DC into next 5 DC, 2 DC into next DC] until eor.

8: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, place a DC into 1^st DC from previous row (=2 DC in same stitch), [DC into next 6 DC, 2 DC into next DC] until eor.

9-29: repeat rows as previously explained, making sure you always add one DC on it’s own per row in between the 2 DC together in one stitch. For instance, this means row 9 will go like this:

Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, DC in same first stitch (=2 DC in same stitch). Now you just need to add 1 DC into the next 7 stitches; after these 7 DC, just add 2 DC together in one stitch. Now just place 7 DC in each DC along, then 2 DC together, etc, until the end of this row.

Repeat this process row after row, and this will gradually enlarge your shawl in the shape of an arc circle.

Do not fasten off.

Shell stitch edging

1: Ch 3 (=DC), place 2 more DC into the 1^st stitch (=3 DC together and half shell stitch); [sk 2 stitches, SC into next stitch, sk 2 stitches, 5 DC into next st (=shell stitch)] until you reach the last 8 stitches. Place a SC into the 8^th stitch from end, sk 1 st, place 5 DC (shell stitch) into next stitch, sk 2 stitches, SC into next stitch, sk 2 stitches and place 3 DC into next and very last stitch (=half shell stitch).

Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.

Add hood to project

We will be adding the hood to this project.

Place your shawl on a flat surface, the straight edge of the project facing up.

Measure the top of the shawl from the center point (center circle of the beginning of the project). Measure 25,5 cm (=10”) from the center, on both sides of the center stitch (= the beginning of the shawl). Place each of your 2 stitch markers on those measured stitches.

Row 1: Ch 1 (=SC), and place SC all along the top of the shawl from one stitch marker to the other. This is the “wrong” side of the stitches, so make sure you place these SC at equal intervals. Make sure you have the same amount of stitches on each side of the center.

2: Ch 3 (=DC), place a DC into each SC from the previous row until eor.

3-16: Ch 3 (=DC), place a DC into each DC from the previous row until eor.

Fasten off, leaving long tail for sewing the hood seam.

Once you have finished your 16 rows of DC, take your hood and fold the top in half, so that you can sew this using the mattress stitch to create the hood.

Fasten off, leaving long tail for sewing the hood seam.
