Quick & Simple Granny Shawl

While there are multiple granny square style shawl patterns available, there were none available that were exactly what I wanted (either due to yarn weight or pattern specifics), so I decided to make my own! I hope you enjoy it! **DIFFICULTY:** Easy/beginner **SIZE:** 56” (142 cm) wingspan before blocking, 68” (173 cm) wingspan after blocking (but adjustable to your liking by just adding or subtracting rows) **MATERIALS:** * 6 skeins of Lion Brand Landscapes (New Aran) in colorway 204 Desert Spring or 882 yards (807 m) of an aran weight yarn of your choice * 6.0 mm/US J hook * Finishing items: scissors, tapestry needle, blocking pins & mats **GAUGE:** Getting an exact gauge is not important, just crochet until the shawl is the size you want! **NOTES:** * Blocking is not required, it is up to your personal preference * Keep in mind that adjusting the size will also change the required amount of yarn * The other pictured example uses a DK weight yarn, King Cole Riot, with the 6.0 mm/US J hook for a lacier feel; this is a great example of how you can customize the pattern to your liking! * Pattern testing & the King Cole Riot example were done by the lovely Claire, owner of the blog [Mollie & Claire][1].
