Granny Tassel Shawl

4 Comments

This granny square-inspired crochet shawl is super fun to make because once you memorize how to work its easy stitch pattern, you can go to town until it's the size you want, or until you run out of yarn. A shawl like this one is the perfect way to show off your tassel skills, too!
I’m finding myself obsessed with tassels this summer. It must be something about their current trendiness? That combined with how easy they are to make using my endless supply of scraps have got to be it. :) A shawl like this one is the perfect project to make use of your tassel skills. Incorporating tassels on a smaller size shawl weights the finished piece so it lays just right as you wear it. And if you’re feeling really ambitious, you can add tassels all along the short edges of this shawl for a funky finished piece!

  3. this pattern is cute but the instructions are terrible, it does not give the amount of stitches for each row, it does not explain how to increase to make it bigger I have kept trying to figure it out but there is no way to tell please revise it so i can make it
    thanks Cecelia

    • Every time row 5 is worked, a ch-sp is formed at each end of the row, increasing the width of the shawl. The ch-sp created at the beginning of the row is created when you work the initial ch 4 (counts as a dc stitch and some extra chains), and the ch-sp created at the end of the row is formed when you work the last ch 1 followed by the final dc stitch.
