Crochet Frosted Layer Cake Shawl
The new Caron Cakes yarn is a perfect yarn for making this warm and comfy shawl. Crochet Frosted Layer Cake Shawl. Feel free to substitute your favorite worsted weight yarn in solids or mixing colors for a lovely effect. This pattern would also be nice to use for your prayer shawl circle.
This generous size shawl is 85" x 27". I wear it with the top edge rolled down to give the appearance of having a collar. You can easily make it smaller or larger to your preferred size. In fact, as a one Caron Cake crochet pattern, it would be a nice shawlette at 47" x 16".

Hi Jeanne
Is there a diagram for this shawl?
Lori McDaniel says
It looks as though you crocheted a collar, but im not seeing that in the directions, or missing it one of the two. I am about to turn to work on the top edge, at the edging stage and wanted a small collar. Can you clarify how you made, did your collar for me? Im making this for my mil for christmas. Thanks in advance. Lori
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
There is no extra collar. It's just the way I wear it. I bring it up and fold it over to create the illusion of a collar. Simple. 🙂
LaLaurie K says
In the video it seems like the end loops (chain 4) is just dc, chain, dc.. Then turn... But the written instructions make it seem like it's dc,dc, chain, dc then turn... Can you clarify which is correct ?? I'm just starting and going by the written pattern but I'd hate to get too far in and realize it's wrong., thank you!!!
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
That's because you dc into the ch-4, which is really a dc and ch-1, then dc-ch1-dc in the 3rd ch. from the written, dc in ch-1 sp, dc-ch1-dc in last st. I'm pretty sure that what shows in the video too.
LaLaurie K says
Thank you!! I finally got it going. I've only been crocheting for about a year and a half so sometimes I get confused. When I was going by the video I must have been missing that part because I kept coming up short on row 3... I really appreciate you giving feedback on the pattern!!
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
Your welcome! Glad you got it.
Helen Mahone says
Love this! Christmas for my always cold sister
Lisa A Zafar says
Please help! I want to make this for my daughter who is very overweight but I can't find instructions for increasing the pattern.
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
To make it larger, just continue the rows until it's the size you desire.

I love your Frosted Layer Cake Shawl! I have a question though...I've been looking for a cool hooded poncho pattern for a long time without much luck. This is so close to one!!! Is there a way to make this into a hooded poncho? You would make an awesome one! If not, I think Mikey would so accept and excel at the challenge of designing a hooded poncho!!! Thank you!! Love your website, patterns, YouTube, everything!!
