💡 Tip: Adjust tassel placement to your preference - more tassels create a fuller bohemian look
  1. Step 1
    Wrap yarn around 4-inch cardboard 15 times. Cut yarn at one edge. This creates one tassel.
  2. Step 2
    Take a 10-inch piece of yarn, thread through top of tassel strands, and tie tightly around a ch-3 loop along bottom edge of shawl.
  3. Step 3
    Wrap another 8-inch piece of yarn around tassel about 1 inch from top and tie securely. Trim ends to desired length.
  4. Step 4
    Make and attach tassels to every 3rd or 4th ch-3 loop along bottom edge, approximately 20-25 tassels total, spacing evenly.

✂️ Finishing

Weave in all loose ends using yarn needle. Gently block shawl by pinning to measurements on a blocking mat or towel-covered surface. Mist lightly with water and allow to dry completely. This will open up the V-stitch pattern and create beautiful drape. Trim all tassel ends to uniform length, approximately 3-4 inches.

🧺 Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent. Roll in towel to remove excess water, do not wring. Lay flat to dry, reshaping as needed. If using acrylic blend, machine wash gentle cycle in mesh bag and lay flat to dry. Steam block lightly if needed to refresh shape.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Dk). You'll need about approximately 850-950 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.
This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, dc, V-st, sp and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.
Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.
For this pattern, gauge is "4 V-stitches x 6 rows = 4 inches in V-stitch pattern". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent. Roll in towel to remove excess water, do not wring. Lay flat to dry, reshaping as needed. If using acrylic blend, machine wash gentle cycle in mesh bag and lay flat to dry. Steam block lightly if needed to refresh shape. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
