Sickle Shawl

A simple yet effective pattern can make an accessory that will make any outfit pop and keep you warm at the same time. There are blocks of double crochet and then blocks of open lace. The pattern is weight based. You will crochet a pattern with increases, work even, then decrease to use up the remaining yarn. The pattern is based on a set number of repeats and the weight of your yarn. This means you will use all the available yarn in the pattern. The arc in the shawl, a ‘sickle’ shape reminiscent of a waning moon, is achieved with strategic increases and decreases. **Yarn** Alpaca Allure, Merino Luxury by Fibre Naturally Australian 4 ply, fingering weight, 70% merino/30% alpaca, 370m/100g.
