Product Description
This pattern is a beginner/intermediate level. The yarn I used was a #2 sport weight and a total of 656 yards. The dark purple shawl was made with Unplanned Peacock superwash merino sport weight (1 skein of color Purple Martin and 1 skein color Azurite). The dark gray and lavender shawl was made with Queensland United wool/cotton blend sport weight (2 skeins in color Lead and 2 skeins in color Fressia). If using 2 colors, as I did, divide your yardage in half for each color. A shawl size can be easily made by repeating any or all sections of the pattern until it reaches your desired length, but you'll need to add more yardage. You’ll need a hook size G / 6 - 4mm and two markers. My shawl measured 60 inches in length. The gauge is 6 dc and 1 row equaled 2 x 2 inches. If you choose a different weight yarn, use hook recommended. This pattern can be made in any weight yarn. Size and yardage will vary.
Morning Stroll Shawlette by Paige Fitzgerald-Vest
Project Overview
The Morning Stroll Shawlette is an intermediate-level crochet shawlette designed by Paige Fitzgerald-Vest. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a versatile triangular wrap that measures approximately 60 inches in length when worked with the recommended yarn and gauge. The design is scalable, allowing crafters to easily expand the shawlette into a full shawl by repeating pattern sections until reaching their desired finished dimensions.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This shawlette employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate-level makers. The pattern utilizes a combination of essential stitches worked in rows to build the triangular silhouette characteristic of shawlette designs. The scalable construction method means you can work the pattern sections repeatedly, making it an excellent project for crafters seeking customization options based on available yardage and personal preference.
Stitches Used
The Morning Stroll Shawlette incorporates the following crochet stitches (US terms):
- Chain (ch) – foundation and turning chains
- Slip stitch (slst) – joining rounds and securing stitches
- Single crochet (sc) – basic stitch for shaping
- Half double crochet (hdc) – medium-height stitch
- Double crochet (dc) – primary stitch for fabric structure
- Triple crochet (tr) – taller stitch for texture variation
- Stitch spaces (sp) – openwork elements for drape and visual interest
Yarn and Materials
The original design features hand-dyed superwash merino sport weight yarn from Unplanned Peacock Studio. The pattern calls for 2 skeins totaling 656 yards – specifically 1 skein each of the colorways Purple Martin and Azurite, with each skein containing 328 yards. This soft, superwash-treated merino provides excellent stitch definition and a luxurious drape ideal for shawlette wear.
The pattern is adaptable to any yarn weight, though yardage requirements and finished dimensions will vary accordingly. When substituting yarn weights, crocheters should use the hook size recommended for their chosen yarn.
Tools and Gauge
The Morning Stroll Shawlette requires a size G / 6 (4.00mm) crochet hook and two stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points. The recommended gauge is 6 double crochets and 1 row measuring 2 x 2 inches, which helps ensure proper finished dimensions and fabric drape. Achieving accurate gauge is particularly important for shawlette patterns, as it affects both the final size and the way the garment drapes across the shoulders.
Pattern Flexibility
This design offers excellent customization potential. Crafters can repeat any or all sections of the pattern to extend the shawlette into a larger wrap, making it suitable for various skill levels within the intermediate range and accommodating different yarn quantities. The scalable nature of the pattern means you can work until your available yardage is nearly depleted, creating a personalized finished piece.
