Faded Blooms is a Crochet Lace Shawl Pattern that creates a beautiful accessory to brighten a winter coat or a lightweight shawl for warmer evenings.

A very pretty shawl design with a fabulous drape, using approx. 800m of fingering weight yarn. 2 beautiful skeins of yarn is all that is needed to show off this large and lacy triangle shawl in an easy 2-row repeat pattern. Made using basic crochet stitches that combine to create an interesting shell stitch pattern, that is relaxing and quick to crochet.

The yarn has beautiful shades of purple, lilac and pinks in glorious faded hues, reminding me of Summer flowers fading in Autumn.
