Effortlessly elegant and endlessly versatile, the Sweet Season Shawl is the perfect project for confident beginners looking to crochet a stunning accessory with timeless appeal.

Alternating rows of block and mesh stitches create clean, horizontal lace stripes for a modern yet classic look—ideal for dressing up or down across seasons. Whether paired with jeans and a tee or draped over a dress, the Sweet Season Shawl adds just the right touch of warmth and style.

This design shines in gradient yarns and solids alike, making it a great canvas for your favorite colorways.

Suggested Yarn Substitutes
Pattern is designed for super-fine-weight yarn. Lighter or heavier weight yarns may be used. A different weight yarn may require a different size hook and bead (if you choose the optional beaded edging), as well as more or less yarn than noted. Working with a thinner or thicker yarn may result in different gauge measurements, which will affect the Finished Measurements. Because results may vary, crocheting a gauge swatch with your alternative yarn is recommended.
