Rose Shawlette

Design by Miroslava Mihalkova from Exquisite Crochet UK.

The Rose Shawlette, spring crochet shawl, is a wonderful triangular Tunisian crochet shawl that is the ideal accessory for chilly spring mornings and evenings when you need something extra to keep warm.

The shawlette would make a great first Tunisian crochet project for beginners due to its simple construction of working from one wing tip to the other with regular increases and decreases. To spice it up, you can add lighter colour to create chevron effect along the bottom edge.  

 It would make a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift that can be whipped up in a few evenings!

Finished Dimensions: Wingspan 173 cm x width 32 cm (approx. 67.5” x 12.5”)
