Norwegian Shells Shawl
This shawl was designed for my first Norwegian Crochet Retreat.
A small triangular shawl with a more modern feel, it features an attractive front post shell stitch pattern and a tassel to help it hang perfectly when worn.
Use one main colour and any number of contrast colours - excellent for using with mini skein sets, such as the mini fade kit from Lottie Knits that’s featured in the pattern photos!
Pattern Format:
Pattern is available in US & British crochet terminology and includes photos, charts and YouTube video tutorials for some of the techniques.
Materials & Tools
For the Shawl, you will need fingering/4ply weight yarn with a suggested hook size of 3.5mm for the main body of the shawl and a 3.25mm or 3mm hook for the top border.
Yardage :
Main Colour - just under 399 yards (365 metres) i.e. 100g skein of sock yarn or 4ply.
Contrast Colours CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4 & CC5 just under 80 yards (75 metres) for each of (5x20g mini skein of sock yarn) or if you’re only using 1 Contrast Colour, that equates to just under 399 yards (365 metres) i.e. 100g skein of sock yarn or 4ply.
Gauge:
3 shell repeats = 9cm
14 rows = 10cm
Hitting gauge is not critical, but I would advise making adjustments if your gauge comes out too small as the shawl design is small and the finished object may not be practical.
Finished dimensions:
Finished shawl has a span of 145cm/57 inches & a depth of 37cm/14.6 inches (after blocking & not including tassel).
Difficulty:
Intermediate - you’ll need to be confident with basic stitches.
Make to sell:
You may make this shawl to sell, either for charity or personal profit if you are a small scale crafter. All I ask is that you place the following text credit, either in your online listing or on a small piece of paper with the finished item: Design from www.mezzacraft.com
Other standard copyright laws apply.
