Crochet 2 Cake Shawl Pattern

Crochet 2 Cake Shawl

This simple Caron 2 Cake Shawl is a variation of the Nightberry Shawl that I crocheted last month.  My friend Megan McHugh really enjoyed the stitch pattern of the Nightberry, but preferred a rectangular-shaped stole design.  Megan reworked the pattern and crocheted hers using 3 balls of Bernat Pop yarn.  I like crocheting with Caron Cakes and was able to make mine with only 2 Cakes.  Either way, the long color repeat creates a really pretty shawl.

The rectangular shape drapes nicely around the shoulders, but also can be worn around the neck for a thick scarf for the winter.  This cake shawl would also be perfect for your charity giving to comfort a loved one or as a prayer shawl.

Finished size is 22" x 64"
