Video Tutorial for the Cotton Crochet Shawl Pattern

Crochet Lacy Shawl Pattern Materials
- A 4mm (US G) crochet hook or hook needed to match gauge

Along with the above you will need the following yarn for your wrap:
Cotlin by WeCrochet DK Weight, 70% Tanguis Cotton, 30% Linen, 123yds/50g
You will need approximately 8 balls of Clarity.
I used approximately 880yds to make the wrap.
It’s a category 3, light weight yarn which is what makes this wrap so nice and lightweight. Check our handy yarn weight chart and guide to find out more about yarn weights and categories.

Pattern Gauge
Gauge: 16 sts and 11 rows of main set pattern to measure 10X10cm (4X4 in).
Making a crochet gauge swatch is particularly important when crocheting projects (and even more so for garments) to ensure that it ends up the desired size.
Before you jump into crocheting your cotton crochet wrap, take a moment to read through the pattern notes—it’s a game-changer!
These handy insights will not only simplify your pattern-reading journey but also ensure a smoother crochet experience. You’ll find helpful tips on deciphering the sizing, customisation and more.
Trust me, a quick peek at these notes will set you up for crochet success!
- A ch1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.
- A ch4 at the beginning of a row counts as a stitch.
- The wrap is worked in rows.
- Turn at the end of each row.
- If you’d like to transform your wrap into a shrug then just seam either side of the long edges together with a ss seam. I joined mine for 31 rows but you can do as much or as little as you like to suit.
How to block your crochet shawl
Blocking a crochet project, especially one like this shawl, can really transform it into something really spectacular. It makes the stitches sit really evenly by ‘opening them out’ and shapes the item to exactly the size it should be.
There are a few ways to block things but these are my favourites:
- Steam block – set your iron to steam and lightly steam over the shawl (you can do it through a protective cloth if you’re worried), then pin to measurements and allow to dry.
- Spray block – pin the shawl out to desired dimensions and lightly spray with water and allow to dry naturally.
