Pink Pirate is a crochet shawl worked side to side in rows starting from the top edge. Fun and cheery, the Polka Dots stitch pattern uses spike single crochet stitches, which break up the straight rows of color to create a beautiful polka-dot pattern.

This shawl is worked in two colors; if you’d like to have more fun with this project, you may use different colors for the Polka Dot rows or a color-gradient yarn to achieve the effect of more randomly colored dots.
