The Sorbet Crochet Shawl pattern features a simple, four-row repeating pattern that is easy to remember. Starting at the back of the neck and working out and down the centre of a person's back.
The four rows consist of a double crochet row, a single crochet row, a bean stitch row, and also treble crochet criss-cross stitches to help create a deep texture foundation.
This uses Bernat Sport Ombre Twist yarn in the colour called sorbet. You only need one ball, but with the easy repeating, you can make it larger.
The pattern is a 4-row repeat, which is easy to count. Tips for stitch count increases are included below.
