A pretty and versatile shawl that also whips up very quickly from a simple 8 row repeat. The filet work is yarn sparing, so a good sized shawl can be made from one graduated colour change yarn cake. Perfect for all seasons: make with cotton or cotton blends of a lighter ply for Summer evening wear, and Spring and Autumn day wear; or make it with acrylic or wool for Winter wear. A crochet tie can be made to weave through the filet work to draw the shawl in under the bust or around the waist. If making in 8 or 10 ply yarn, be sure to make a cute matching Vintage Vibes Beanie.Remember to spam me with your lovely makes on social media- #VintageVibesShawl @TheCrochetFix.

Be sure to check out their lovely projects on Ravelry. Appendix 1: Abbreviated Pattern Instructions ExplanationFollowing is an example of how to interpret the *Stitches* repeats within the abbreviated pattern. If you need any further explanation for a particular row, please contact me via my FB page or my blog.

Appendix 2: Pattern ImagesBeginning with Ch 3 instead of DCStndStCh 3 can be substituted for the DCStndSt, if preferred. Note: an extra Ch will also need to be made (Ch 4 in total). The Ch 4 stands for both the DCStndSt and the first Ch 1 Sp. (The Ch 1 Sp will be worked over when constructing the next row). To commence subsequent rows, Sl St into the first Ch 1 Sp, and then Ch 4. Diamond Flower Row 2(As per pattern) DCs have been worked in the previous row stitches up to, and including, the DC that is three DCs prior to the first Ch (of the previous row Ch 3). Ch 3 has then been constructed: The next two DCs and the first Ch (from the previous row) have been skipped, and then a Sl St has been made into the second Ch. Ch 3 has then been constructed: (Note: the following stitches are not shown in the above images.) To complete the motif row 2, skip the third Ch and the next two DCs from the previous row. Then DC in the following DCs from the previous row (as per pattern). Diamond Flower Row 3(As per pattern) DCs have been worked in the previous row stitches up to, and including, the DC that is immediately before the first Ch (of the previous row Ch 3). A DC has also been constructed in the first and second Ch of the previous row Ch 3. Ch 1 has then been made. The previous row Ch – Sl St – Ch stitch sequence has been skipped and a DC has been constructed in each of the next two Ch stitches. (As per pattern) DCs have been worked in the following DCs from the previous row. Appendix 3: Example BordersSimple 2 Row Border (beginner worthy)This border was used on the red (single colour shawl), using option 2. A below. It was also used on the Slice ‘O’ Cherry Pie gradient shawl and multi-coloured shawl, using option 2. B below. BORDER ROW 1 – Alternating DC – Ch 1 Sp Filet In first Ch 1 Sp: DCStndSt, Ch 1, DC. Ch 1 and DC in next DC. *Ch 1, skip a DC and then DC in next DC*. Repeat *stitches* until reaching the next Ch 1 Sp. Ch 1 and then in next Ch 1 Sp: DC, Ch 1, DC. Ch 1 and DC in next DC, *Ch 1, skip a DC and then DC in next DC *. Repeat *stitches* until reaching the next Ch 1 Sp. Ch 1 and then in next Ch 1 Sp: DC, Ch 1, DC. Turn. BORDER ROW 2 – V-Stitch With Picot There are two options:
If using a single colour yarn, or a multi-coloured pattern repeat shawl, options 1. or 2. can be used. If using a gradual gradient colour change yarn, then option 1. is recommended. The Short Edges instructions will entirely construct option 1. and will construct two of the three edges for option 2. If working option 2, next follow the Long Edge instructions. Short Edges (options 1. and 2.): VStPct in first Ch 1 Sp (Cnr). *SC In next Ch 1 Sp, and then VStPct in next Ch 1 Sp*. Repeat *stitches* until reaching the next Cnr Ch 1 Sp (between the two short edges). In next Cnr Ch 1 Sp: SC, VStPct, SC. *VStPct in next Ch 1 Sp, and then SC In next Ch 1 Sp*. Repeat *stitches* until reaching the next Cnr Ch 1 Sp (between the short and long edges). VStPct in next Cnr Ch 1 Sp. Either fasten off, or continue with Long Edge instructions. Long Edge (option 2. only) A: SC over DC post of the DC immediately counter clockwise of the Ch 1 Sp that the last V-stich with picot was made over (refer to left and centre images). *VStPct over next DC post (right image), and then SC over next DC post*. Repeat *stitches* until reaching centre of long edge of shawl, and then VStPct in beginning circle (from Row 1 of shawl construction). *SC over next DC post, and then VStPct over next DC post*. Repeat *stitches* until reaching the next Cnr Ch 1 Sp. SC over the next DC post (of the Cnr Ch 1 Sp where the border row was commenced). Fasten off. Long Edge (option 2. only) B: As per option 2. A, except substitute the following stitch sequence for the VStPct: Ch 1, DC, Ch1, DC, Ch 1, DC, Ch1. More Detailed 5 Row Border (intermediate)This border was used on the Mid Morning Mocha’roo gradient shawl. Note: working this border after 7 pattern repeats will use almost all of a single Scheepjes Whirl. First work Border Row 1 and Border Row 2 (option 1.) as per Simple 2 Round Border Instructions. Then work the instructions for the following three rows: BORDER ROW 3 – First Loop Row *Ch 3 and then Sl St over next picot (space) from the previous row. Ch 6 and then Sl St again over same picot (so that another loop has been formed on top of the previous row picot loop). Ch 3 and then Sl St into next SC from previous row.* Repeat *stitches* until reaching the last picot in the row. Ch 3 and then Sl St over the last picot. Ch 6 and then Sl St again over same picot. DC in DCStndSt from previous row. Turn. BORDER ROW 4 – Second Loop Row *Ch 3 and SC into next Sl St from the previous row. Ch 8 and SC in next Sl St (so that another loop has been formed on top of the previous two). Ch 3 and then SC in next Sl St.* Repeat *stitches* up to and including the Sl St in the row. Turn. BORDER ROW 5 – Third Loop Row *Ch 10 and Sl St into next SC from the previous row. Ch 3, skip Ch 3 – SC – Ch 3 sequence, and Sl St into next SC.* Repeat *stitches* until reaching the last SC. Ch 10 and then Sl St into the last SC. Appendix 4: Colour Pattern Repeat SuggestionsExample 1:
Example 2 (multi-colour shawl example):
Example 3:
[1] The Standing Stitch is worked at the start of a new round so that the seam is less obvious. As there are a number of ways to work a standing stitch, if you already have a method that works for you, please substitute your preferred method where this stitch is referenced in the pattern instructions. Ch 3 can be substituted for DCStndSt. Use the same method throughout construction. |
