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.

“You’re telling me words can be pronounced in “You’re telling me words can be pronounced in different ways and mean the same things?!” 👀 Posting this here, just to make it clear: when anyone says skayne, skeen, or skyne, it can be safely assumed we’re talking about a bundle o’ yarn,  a SKEIN. It’s not necessary to shame someone for using a word that is known to have MULTIPLE common pronunciations. 🧶

Can you plz comment sharing how you say SKEIN and where you learned it? The OED happens to say SKAYNE, but it’s not a personal attack if someone says SKEEN and you say SKYNE or even Saskatoon. I’m legitimately curious. We don’t all knit or crochet the same way, and craft evolves a bit like language - it is passed on. There is so much value in having conversations about & embracing these variations! ✌🏻

Sometimes my weekend projects involve hair rather Sometimes my weekend projects involve hair rather than yarn. Here’s the latest mediocre-but-improving result of my slow quest to learn to set vintage inspired curls. 💇🏼‍♀️ I’m hoping to be able to wash my hair less using a regular vintage set, but we’ll see if it ends up being practical. 😆 Hair frustrates me so much more than crafts!
