Expand your crochet skills while making the elegant Belle Époque Shawl, featuring graceful rows of eyelets and a delicate lace edging. The pattern includes two sizes as well as an option to use a contrast color for the edging, with both written instructions and stitch diagrams.

Wrap yourself up in this luxurious shawl for instant warmth and elegance. Belle Époque features graceful rows of eyelets highlighting the top-down triangular construction and an edging of delicate lace.

The pattern includes two sizes as well as an option to use a contrast color for the edging, with both written instructions and stitch diagrams.

Kira will share tips for tracking your place in the pattern and stitch counts, the neatest way to crochet bobbles and picots, and advice on blocking and weaving in yarn ends.

If you have always crocheted with heavier yarns, or have only used fingering-weight yarns for knitting, you will be amazed to discover the drape of this shawl’s fabric and the relative speed of its making.
