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.

Working on a sample for some upcoming videos. It’s an overcast day with intermittent sunshine & I have a scruffy little sidecar. 🐶 Can’t complain!

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

June’s big ears can get cold in winter, so I’m improvising a doggie ear warmer/hood for her. What are the odds she tries to shred it immediately when it’s done?
