Beautiful summer crochet shawl pattern that will be released in 6 instalments as a crochet along! Learn new stitches and practice increases and decreases with this fun community event.
I can not believe how quick this time has come – The Six Weeks of Summer Shawl Crochet Along is here! I know summer will look very differently for each of us. Entertaining kids for six weeks, travelling for holiday (hopefully) or attending festivals and events.
However, no matter what your plans are for summer, we have one thing in common. We all need to relax and recharge the batteries!
That is exactly what the shawl crochet along will bring you. I hope that after a busy day you will find some quality quiet time. Please join me for the crochet along.
This is a community event where we will all be working on the same project simultaneously. You will get all the support you need throughout the shawl crochet along to finish your make.
If you would like to read some basic information about the crochet along, yarn details and the prize draw, visit the Summer Shawl Crochet Along – Six Weeks of Summer main event page.

FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS
Fasten off. Sew in both ends securely but do not cut off.
The finished shawl benefits from firm wet blocking. Pin it out to dimensions 175 x 45 cm and let dry overnight.
After you unpin the shawl from blocking board, cut the two ends off.
Alternatively, you can also purchase an ad free version of the pattern on Ravelry. This pattern contains extra crochet charts and video tutorials for each section. However, the pattern will not be available in full at the start. It will be updated each week so the whole design will remain a surprise. You will be sent an update before the pattern is released here on the blog. This way you can still take part in the crochet along. However, you will have your pattern safely stored in your library.

Hi bought the pattern, bought the yarn, excited to get started,but I don’t quite understand the instructions in row 2. Got the ch4 and first dc then I’m not understanding the next stitch placement. Please help.
Hi Shelley, if you bought the PDF there is a link to a video tutorial in the file which will help you with the stitch placement. I hope that helps.
