Granny Tassel Shawl

August 2, 2017 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!

    Very cute! I really like the purples you used and that the pattern looks easy enough for someone like me who’s a very basic crocheter!

    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.

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
