Crochet Stitch for This Shawl

Why is this stitch called granny stitch light? As illustrated, we are alternating two rows. One row is just standard granny stitch, as used in another popular crochet shawl pattern (free & easy). The second row consists of special V-stitches.

Triangle Shawl Construction

The shawl is crocheted in a bottom-up triangular shape. Firstly, you start at the bottom. Next, you’ll increase on both sides, allowing your triangle shawl to grow until it reaches the desired size.

Shawl’s Finished Size

A triangle measuring 48″ x 48″ x 66″. The altitude (height) of the triangle measures 35″.

Materials and Tools

For the original shawl, we used Patons Squine Lace yarn that has been discontinued. But you can use any yarn that is marked FINE CYC #2 and LIGHT CYC #3, according to the standard yarn weight system by Craft Yarn Council.

This system is very helpful because often you can’t find the yarn used for a project and have to substitute. As a result, you can be assured that the yardage and yarn quantities will be approximately the same.

Any fine-weight yarn CYC #2: 2-3 100g skeins or 5 x 50g skeins (approximately 236 g total to achieve the same finished size 48″ x 48″ x 66″)
Crochet hook 3mm or 4 mm (set with everything you need)
scissors
tapestry needle

Yarn Suggestions

100g Sequin Yarn for Crocheting & Knitting – Soft and Lightweight (100% acrylic with sequins)

Another option is a natural fiber yarn – Premier® Cotton Fair® Yarn. This lightweight cotton-blend yarn is perfect for summer projects. Contents: 52% cotton, 48% acrylic; Skein Weight: 3.5 oz. (100 g) Yardage: 317 yd. (290 m). Also, it comes in many colors, so it’s easy to pick your favorite color scheme.

Check out how the stitch looks with Premier Cotton Fair yarn. It feels slightly heavier and has a nice bounce, but drapes nicely. Also, the yarn is slightly thicker, though the label says CYC #2 fine. As a result, it could be more suitable for beginners than the fine yarn with sequins.

Overall, it is a nice option for summer if you want your shawl made with natural fibers rather than acrylic yarn with sequins.
