Daybreak Shawl

This crochet granny stitch shawl was such a fun make. It almost never happens that a pattern works out the very first try without needing to frog some of it. This crochet pattern came about almost effortlessly.

I was always afraid of using more than 2 or 3 colors in a crochet pattern because I hated weaving in ends. Can you relate? But ever since I started branching out and brainstorming ideas using more colors together its like a whole new realm has opened up.

Using multiple colors in a design also helps me use more of my yarn stash rather than needing to purchase more of 1 color to create a design.

About the granny stitch shawl

This granny stripes crochet shawl is just a bit fancier than your typical rectangle shawl.

The stripes of this crochet shawl use the granny stitch with slight increases on some of the rows to create a slight trapezoid shape.

5 colors total are needed to make this shawl. You can use less colors if you wish to as well.

The yarn used is Lion Brand Coboo and Lion Brand Cotton-Fetti Blend. Coboo is a 50% cotton 50% bamboo mix. The Cotton-Fetti Blend is a 50% acrylic and 50% cotton blend yarn.

The yarn used makes for this shawl to be the perfect Summer Shawl. But if you like this shawl for Fall or Winter then you can switch the yarn for a wool blend in a color scheme suited for those seasons.

This shawl is worked in 3 sections. The granny stitch stripes are worked first and then the lacy sections are worked on each short edge of the shawl.
