crochet pattern - sea to sky shawl by kim miller.

 


Skill Level: Intermediate

Sea to Sky is a kite shaped shawl that combines self striping yarn, and clever shaping to achieve that wow factor. The entire shawl is crocheted using basic chain, and single crochet stitches, so the hardest part will be making only one.

This crochet pattern calls for 4 balls of Schachenmayr Fashion Tahiti (99% Cotton 1% Polyester) Fingering - 4ply | Super Fine (1), 50 g (1.76 ounces)/280 meters (306 yards) per ball, a 3.25 mm (D) crochet hook (or size needed to achieve gauge), and a yarn needle. This detailed crochet pattern includes written instructions, and illustrations to help you along the way.

The blocked the shawl measures approximately 51 cm (20”) at it's widest point, & 203 cm (80”) at it's longest point. Please note that measurements are approximate & will be affected by the gauge & the brand of yarn.

new crochet pattern - sea glass shawl by kim miller.





Skill Level: Intermediate

Sea Glass is a light weight, carefree, shawl edged with lacy pineapples that roll and crest just like the waves of the sea.

The entire shawl is worked sideways with the edging worked at the same time. Shorter stitches along the top edge give the shawl a slightly crescent shape which allows it to drape beautifully around the neckline.

This crochet pattern calls for approximately 2 skeins of Midknit Cravings Sugar (Silver/Gold) 115 g (4.05 ounces)/388 meters (425 yards) per skein, a 3.25 mm (D) crochet hook, and a yarn needle. This detailed well written pattern includes written instructions, as well as a chart of the first 12 and the last 11 rows.

Pre-blocked the shawl measures approximately 152.4 cm (60”) at its widest point, and 45.7 cm (18”) at its longest point. Blocked the shawl measures approximately 177.8 cm (70”) at its widest point, and 49.5 cm (19.5”) longest point. Please note that measurements are approximate and will be affected by the gauge and the brand of yarn.

new crochet pattern - harmony shawl by kim miller.





Skill Level: Easy/Intermediate

This is the perfect crochet pattern for those 2 different colours of yarn that you’ve been dying to pair up. Perhaps, a speckled yarn with a tonal, or maybe a gradient yarn with a contrasting colour….the possibilities are endless!

I used a fingering weight (1) yarn, but this pattern lends itself well to most weights. This asymmetrical shawl is worked sideways so you can make it as big, or small as you like. The pattern repeat is easy to memorize. Plus, I show you an easy way to switch the colours without having to fasten off, and having a ton of yarn ends to work in.

This crochet pattern calls for a total of 4 balls of Drops Delight 50 g (1.76 ounces)/175 meters (191 yards) per ball. The colours shown are 2 balls of Grey (01), and 2 balls of Fall Forest (18). You will also need a 3.50 mm (E) crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge), and a yarn needle.

Also, this detailed well written pattern includes written instructions as well as a chart.
The blocked shawl measures approximately 157.5 cm (62”) along the curved edge, and 38.1 cm (15”) at it’s longest point. Please note that measurements are approximate and will be affected by the gauge and the brand of yarn. For a professional look blocking is recommended.
