La Vie En Rose Shawl Knit Pattern

Friday, January 31, 2020




Are you looking for a one cake (skein) project? The La Vie En Rose Shawl is the perfect knit project for you. 


The knit pattern calls for one cake of Caron Latte Cake. The yarn itself is super soft and I really enjoyed working with it. Another yarn that is similar to this yarn is Red Heart's Hygge yarn. They are similar; however, the thickness of the yarn is a little different. 


Caron Latte Cake is a bit thinner than the Red Heart Hygge. If you are unable to find the Caron Latte Cake (which seems to be a seasonal yarn that only comes out in the winter time), you can substitute with Red Heart Hygge if you don't mind the slight gauge difference. You will end up with a slightly larger shawl. I actually have an extra skein of Red Heart Hygge from my Homeschool Cardigan design so I will likely make another lovely shawl with it. 



The only downside to using the Hygge yarn for this project is that they only come in one solid color whereas Caron Latte Cakes come with color changes. 




Pattern

For an inexpensive ad-free version of this pattern, please visit Etsy or Ravelry.

Gauge

13.5 sts and 21.5 rows equals 4 inches

Notes

If you decide to make this shawl larger, you will require more than one cake of this yarn.

Free Crochet Pattern-- Horizon Wrap

Thursday, March 28, 2019




The Horizon Wrap has soft notes of pink and purple. It can really bring such a feminine touch to your look. This rectangle wrap can also act as a scarf for the winter months! 

I personally don't wear shawls or wraps too much but I do love scarves. When I browse through Instagram, I really admire all that you can do with a shawl in the design aspect. There are some really beautiful shawl designs out there and those posts inspired me to give wrap designing a shot. 

The Horizon Wrap is my very first shawl design but I look forward to growing as a designer to make some intricate and beautiful ones in the near future.

Pattern

To purchase an inexpensive PDF version of this pattern, visit Etsy or Ravelry
To pin this for later, visit Pinterest.


Materials

4 skeins of Red Heart Unforgettable in Pearly
6.5mm hook
tapestry needle

Gauge

Half Double Crochet section 3.25 sts and 2.5 rows = 1”
Textured section (spatter pattern stitch) 2 rows = 1”

Measurements

69”long and 18” wide






Notes


-The length is created first with the foundationless half double crochet and the width is crocheted with each row.

-When you crochet the texturized section, try to keep your tension loose. It’s easy to tighten up with the chains that are crocheted in this section, which can result your piece to shrink in length as you crochet more and more rows.

-If you are unfamiliar with the foundationless half double crochet and would rather begin with a foundation chain, chain 226 and half double crochet in the 3rd chain from the hook and continue with half double crochet to the end.

-To alter the length of your wrap, chain multiples of 4 + 2 or FHDC multiples of 4 +1.
