📌 Before You Begin

💡

This shawl is worked flat in rows from one short end to the other.

💡

The turning chain does not count as a stitch throughout.

💡

Super bulky yarn works up quickly - perfect for a weekend project.

💡

You can adjust length by working more or fewer rows.

💡

Finished piece will be very drapey and cozy.

🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: Make your foundation chain loose so the edge has good drape and matches the stretch of the body.
  1. Foundation
    Ch 54. This will create a shawl approximately 26 inches wide.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: The simple half double crochet creates a beautiful garter-stitch-like texture with excellent drape. Count your stitches every 10-15 rows to ensure you maintain 52 sts across.
  1. Row 1
    Hdc in 3rd ch from hook (skipped chs do not count as st), hdc in each ch across. (52 sts)
  2. Row 2
    Ch 2, turn. Hdc in first st and each st across. (52 sts)
  3. Rows 3-120
    Repeat Row 2 exactly, working hdc in each st across for 118 more rows. (52 sts each row). This creates approximately 80 inches of length. You may work fewer rows for a shorter wrap or more rows for extra length.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: For fuller fringe, use 2 strands per tassel instead of 1. You can also skip fringe entirely for a cleaner look.
  1. Step 1
    Cut 104 strands of yarn, each 16 inches long (this creates 8-inch fringe after folding).
  2. Step 2
    Fold one strand in half. Insert hook through edge stitch, pull folded loop through. Pull cut ends through the loop and tighten. This is one fringe tassel.
  3. Step 3
    Attach one fringe tassel to each stitch along both short ends of the shawl (52 tassels per end, 104 total).
  4. Step 4
    Trim fringe evenly to desired length.
Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

Fasten off after final row, leaving an 8-inch tail. Weave in all ends securely using tapestry needle, weaving through several stitches to secure. Block gently if desired by laying flat and lightly misting with water, allowing to air dry completely. The super bulky yarn creates natural drape without heavy blocking. If you added fringe, trim all tassels to uniform length.

🧺 Care Instructions

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, reshaping to measurements. Do not hang while wet as this may stretch the piece. Avoid machine washing and drying. Store folded to maintain shape.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Super bulky). You'll need about approximately 600-700 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Bulky yarns work up fast and have more visible stitch texture — try wool or wool-blend for best results.
Yes! This is one of the friendlier patterns to start with. You only need to know: ch, hdc, st(s), sp. Work slowly, count your stitches at the end of each row, and don't be afraid to frog (rip back) and redo a section — that's how everyone learns. Budget about 8-12 hours; beginners often take a bit longer, and that's totally fine.
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 "8 hdc x 6 rows = 4 inches in half double crochet". 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 in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel, reshaping to measurements. Do not hang while wet as this may stretch the piece. Avoid machine washing and drying. Store folded to maintain 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.
