Crochet Sashay Shawls
Learn to crochet Sashay Shawls. It's a lot easier than it looks. It's a matter of understanding the slip stitching and what to look for when doing so.
I have provided a step by step tutorial on getting started.
There is a total of 8 rows. Rows 1 - 6, you will skip every other top loop. This will cause the row to double itself as it means there will be 2 loops on the bottom for every 1 loop on top. This technique is what is creating the drape.
Rows 7 & 8, you will not skip any loops on the top. This will prevent the shawl from getting any wider and will suddenly start to grow straight down.

How do you end?
Mikey says
Use a needle and thread to secure the ending.
Katarina says
How do you end the shawl, i.e. tuck in the end etc?
Sharon garza says
Mikey I did the same on my shawl and I'm a size 1x and it doesn't go around..I like the way it's coming along.
Marie says
I'd love a written pattern too, maybe with pictures? The video is lovely but I need quick reference to carry with my project. Found this trying to get other info to work on another sashay yarn shawl but so far no luck. Starting to look like I might just have to invent lol
Nancy bentley says
I am on the 7th row of my shawl and I am still using the first ball of yarn am I doing something wrong?
Chronic Creator says
Hmmm... I'm working along just fine. But I've done 7 rows, with double ruffle stitches in each row (I forgot to stop after the 6th row), and I'm STILL on the first ball of yarn. I'll never get to the third or fourth ball. Have I done something wrong?
Chronic Creator says
Well, I finished it, but it took me less than two balls of yarn... Not sure what to do with the other two at this point...
Nancy Bentley says
I am having the same issue, I think I am going to make mine a little longer.
Nancy says
Help,
I am working on my scarf for the third time and I am on row 4 and I am still on my first ball of yarn! Am I doing something wrong?
Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
no... means you are doing right... We just had to ensure the first ball got you past the 4th row to ensure you won't see any joining of yarns. 😀 Keep on hook'n!
Diva Silva says
Thank you so much, I am almost finishing my own!
Diane Chicklo says
Yes luved it and decided ti make one for my grand daughter instead of a caplet. But how do you end the piece?
Eugenia says
Hmm... great video, and pattern. As a larger, plus size lady, I guess that if I wanted to make it larger width wise I would just start with more than two stitches at the beginning... I will have to give this a try and play around with it a bit.

Bang On! Generally, I stay away from doing anything with this type of yarn. It has been frustrating, aggravating, etc.. Having said that, after watching your video and what can be done with this yarn, I'm ready to sashay my way over to the craft store in the morning to load up on yarn to make myself a frilly, beautiful shawl. Thank you for your love and passion in this art form. It is very much appreciated.
Heather says
Love this! I am looking forward to watching your video, but I was wondering if there was also a written pattern? I like to follow along with the written pattern when watching your videos 🙂 I can't wait to make one of these!
Jessica says
Like heather, I also learn by following the video with a written pattern. Is there one and I'm just not seeing it? Thanks!!!
