Blue Lagoon Crocheted Shawl Pattern for Sale

Blue Lagoon Shawl is a triangular shawl that can be made with only one skein of sock yarn. If you have leftover coordinating color of that 1 skein of sock yarn, it’s even better!

This shawl is crocheted from the neck down, and can be adjusted very easily depending on the amount of yarn you have. As with all my other patterns, this pattern comes with row-by-row written direction in US crochet term and charts.

FO: Blue Lagoon Crocheted Shawl

This project was started when I realized that all my crochet pattern need more at least 2 skeins of yarn. At first I am not sure whether I can make decent shawl size with only 1 skein as crochet consumes more yarn. My first attempt was not successful, I didn’t like the look of the shawl even after blocking. So I had to frog the whole thing. Luckily the second attempt worked like a charm.

FO: Liliiflora Shawlette

In case you are wondering about the progressed of my Liliiflora shawlette after my last post, I am happy to tell you that it’s done and I really like the result. I really like the border pattern and at first I was not sure whether the lace stitch that I picked for the body would work. As you can see that the body lace pattern very lacey and holey and the border seems more solid that the body. Many times during the knitting part of the body, I was tempted to frog and choose more solid pattern or probably just use plain stockinette stitch. I am glad that I didn’t.

I used about 477 m or 530 yards of yarn to make 18 repeats wide pattern. I think the length is just perfect for a shawlette. I also think this pattern is perfect for 1 skein of Wollmeise.

Purple Magnolia aka Liliiflora

It's spring time, and I saw this pretty flower that really inspired me to make a new shawl based on this flower.

This time, I didn't make my shawl triangle shape instead I want to try a crescent shape shawl and this is what I got:



The pattern is in the process of testing now and I am planning to release it by this month. If you want to be notified when I release this pattern, you can subscribe here.

FO: Remember Me Crocheted Shawl

Remember my entry about my new crochet project? Yup, it's done and it's really really pretty (it's OK to admire my own work, right?). I still could not believe that my construction worked nicely for this shawl. This shawl is work from the top down and has no seaming! Looks complicated but it is very easy. It has only 3-rows repeat pattern that is easy to memorize.

The idea of this shawl is started when I wanted a shawl with lace panels on the center and all sides of edges without any seaming. I also didn’t want the solid part to be just plain dc. I wanted a bit of texture to it. I also want it to be easily adjusted so people can make as small or as big as they want to. I did a lot of experiments before finally get to this combination and really like the result. This shawl came out just exactly like I imagined it. I don’t know the name of the yarn. I got it on sale without label, all I know it’s 100% wool, but I like working with it and it blocked beautifully.

Pattern: Remember Me

Source: You can buy it here or Ravelry or my Etsy (see link at about me)

Materials: Light fingering 100% wool. Lavender colorway.

Qty: 3 x 50 gram (230 m/50 gram, 690 m total).

Needles: Clover hook 3.50 mm Start

Date: 7 March 2011

Finish Date: 14 March 2011

Tutorial: easier way to make p2tog tbl for tight knitter

When I made Narnia, one of the stitch that is difficult for me to make was p2tog tbl (purl 2 together through the back loops). It was because I am a tight knitter. After some failed attemps to do this stitch repeatedly, in the end I used the 2 steps method. If you are a tight knitter like me, you might want to try this method:

1. Slip 2 stitches purlwise from left needle to right needle.

2. Reinsert the left needle along side the right one so both needles come out side by side, points together. Remove the right needle.

3. You have twisted the stitches just like below picture. All you have to do is just purl them off like normal p2tog.




See, easier to do, just takes longer because there are two steps. Try it yourself!

Another Narnia Shawl

Yup, I made another Narnia. This time I used DK weight yarn to knit Narnia. Since I got total 400 m and didn’t want to waste the yarn, I took a risk to add one more repeat to make the shawl bigger. Guess what? I run out of yarn! I didn’t have enough yarn to do the bind-off. I didn’t want to waste money to buy another skein just so I could use a few meter from it. So, I did some adjustment for the bind-off. Instead using 5-chain, I used only 4-chain, and during blocking, instead of putting the needles on the 2 middle loops, I only put 1 needle in 1 of those middle loops. I think I like the slightly curvy effect.

This time, I managed to get the beauty of this shawl perfectly.












Pattern: Narnia ShawlMaterials: DK weight yarn 100% merino (2290 961 70616), 100g/200 m per skein in gray colorway.
Qty: 2 x 100 gram (200 m/100 gram, 320 m total).
Needles: Addi lace 3.50 mm
Start Date: 27 Feb 2011
Finish Date: 9 Mar 2011
Finished size: About 52” wide by 24” deep

Gathering Leaves Shawl in Action

Finally I managed to take photo of Gathering Shawl on me. When I wanted to published this shawl last year, I never had opportunity to take a modeled picture. In the end I asked Lauri to model it for me. Although she did a good job, I always wanted to take model it myself as this is my favorite shawl. I love the process of crocheting it, love the yarn and love the result.

I managed to take many nice photos, but these two are my favorite. I really like the bottom photo.

Cassandra as A Featured Pattern in Ravelry

Oh look, my Cassandra shawl pattern was picked as a featured pattern in Ravelry. As the result she was rank 5 of "The most active recently published designs" category in Ravelry (see the circle). No 1 - 4 are free patterns. So, it's quite an accomplishment as a paid pattern to be able to sit in no 5.



Actually this is the second time my pattern was selected as featured pattern. The first time was 2 year ago, they picked my Dahlia Top Pattern.

Narnia Knitting Shawl Pattern for Sale

Narnia is a triangular shawl worked from the top down. This shawl was quite challenging for me as I learnt some new stitches that are quite a handful to do. This shawl is all about texture. It reminds me of the wood carving in my grandparents’ wardrobe, and I always imagine that wardrobe was the same wardrobe in the The Chronicles of Narnia story.

I used worsted weight yarn for this pattern to make the texture pop out. As a result, not only is this shawl beautiful to look but it is very functional.

As usual pattern includes charts and written directions. I also include a picture tutorial of how to make the crochet bind-off, and tips on how to make a larger shawl and calculate the yardage needed.

Correction:

Row 12 of chart shows “p2togtbl” symbol following a ptbl. There shouldn’t be a p2togtbl, it should just be a purl stitch. The written direction is correct

Row 37: there is missing cross 2 L on the chart. The written direction is correct.

Row 79: it should said lcd not special sts
