March is here, and with it comes International Crochet Month! This year, we’re kicking off this celebration in style with the release of a brand new crochet shawl pattern—Coast to Colour designed by Charlotte Lee. An opportunity to celebrate the joy of crochet whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just getting started, it’s the perfect time to dive into this fun new project and explore the colour style options.
The Coast to Colour crochet shawl is a top-down, triangular design that begins in the centre with a simple setup, followed by a one-row repeat. Customize your look by changing colours for a gradient or striped version, or keep it classic with a single colourway.
The pattern is easily adjustable to any size, with or without the Bobble Stitch Border. With samples made using four different colour variations, it’s a fun design for playing with colour. Or maybe even find inspiration in Felicia’s How to Use Your Handspun post and use some of your own handspun yarn!
