The Drucilla Shawl is a multi option pattern. Choose from a triangle or diamond shape and make it in heavy lace, 4ply or DK or even your own handspun yarn.

The pattern was originally published in John Arbon Textile’s The Annual 1 (some photos are courtesy of John Arbon Textiles.

SHAWL SHAPE
This pattern can be crocheted as a triangular shawl or a C2C diamond that is doubled over for extra warmth.

SHAWL CONSTRUCTION
Simple and repetitive row repeat V-stitches mean you can crochet a triangular shawl, increasing the row lengths as you go. If you fancy a warm double thickness shawl, you can crochet Drucilla corner to corner (C2C) to make a crocheted hap style shawl.

A simple border is added, either using the same yarn or a contrast colour border. Using a weight percentage system, you can work out how much yarn you need. The border requires up to 10% of the weight of the main body of the shawl.

Mindful crochet project that can be made as large or small as you like.
