About the Adelia Shawl

The Adelia Shawl gets its name from the word "adelia," meaning noble. As you crochet this shawl and wear it, we hope it serves as a reminder of your high character, strong moral values, and clear Sense of self-worth. The shawl is an advanced beginner level pattern, primarily consisting of double crochet stitches with a few cluster stitches. Even if you're new to crochet, you'll be able to Create this stunning shawl with ease.

Yarn and Materials

To make the Adelia Shawl, we recommend using our Ephemeral Fingering yarn. This 100% plant-Based yarn is a Blend of silky Pima cotton and Tencel, which adds a subtle shimmering texture and structure to your project. The yarn is wonderfully soft and has excellent drape, making it perfect for a variety of projects. For the Adelia Shawl, we suggest using a beautiful smoky teal color for the body and lovely aqua Blue and green for the stripes.

Getting Started

To start making the Adelia Shawl, follow these simple steps:

1. Row 1: Foundation Chain: Begin by creating a slip knot and placing it on your hook. Chain 6, then work 2 double crochets in the 4th chain from your hook. Work 3 double crochets in the next chain, and repeat this pattern for the final chain. This will create the initial shape of the shawl.

2. Row 2: Increasing Stitches: Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), then work 2 double crochets in the same double crochet. Continue working 1 double crochet in each stitch until the end of the row. This will create additional stitches and maintain the half-circle shape.

3. Row 3: Maintaining the Half Circle Shape: Turn your work, chain 3, and work 2 double crochets in the same stitch. Work 1 double crochet in each stitch across the row, maintaining the half-circle shape.

Working the Cluster Stitch

At certain points in the pattern, you'll come across cluster stitches. These stitches add texture and visual interest to the shawl. Here's how to work the cluster stitch:

1. Work 3 double crochets in the designated stitch.
2. Chain 2.
3. Work 3 more double crochets in the same stitch.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to create the cluster stitch effortlessly.
