Tutorial – Luxe Lace Shawl
93KHey there! Welcome back to my channel. Today, I am so excited to share with you a tutorial on how to crochet a Luxe Lace Shawl. This project is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any outfit, whether you wear it casually or for a special occasion.
Before we dive into the tutorial, let me give you a little background on this project. The Luxe Lace Shawl is a beautiful and delicate accessory that features a lacy pattern and a luxurious feel. It’s the perfect accessory to wear around your shoulders on a cool evening or to drape over your outfit for a stylish look.
For this tutorial, you will need the following materials:
- 1 skein of luxurious yarn (I recommend a silk or cashmere blend for a soft and elegant finish)
- Crochet hook in the appropriate size for your chosen yarn (I recommend using a larger hook for a looser, drapier shawl)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Now that you have your materials ready, let’s get started on crocheting the Luxe Lace Shawl:
Step 1: Foundation Chain
Start by making a foundation chain with an even number of stitches to achieve the desired width of your shawl. For example, if you want a wider shawl, you can make a longer foundation chain. Once you’ve reached your desired length, add 2 more chains for turning.
Step 2: Double Crochet Row
Begin your first row by making a double crochet stitch in the 4th chain from the hook. Then, make a double crochet stitch in each chain across. Remember to chain 3 at the beginning of each row before making your double crochet stitches.
Step 3: V-Stitch Row
For the next row, start with a chain 3 (counts as a double crochet) and then make a V-stitch (double crochet, chain 1, double crochet) into the next stitch. Continue making V-stitches across the row, ending with a double crochet stitch in the last stitch.
Step 4: Repeat Rows
Continue repeating the double crochet row and the V-stitch row until your shawl reaches the desired length. You can make your shawl as long or as short as you like, depending on your preference.
Step 5: Shell Stitch Row
Once you’ve reached your desired length, finish off your shawl with a row of shell stitches. Start by chaining 3 (counts as a double crochet) and then make 5 double crochet stitches in the chain 1 space of each V-stitch from the previous row. Continue making shell stitches across the row, ending with a double crochet stitch in the last stitch.
Step 6: Finishing Touches
After completing the shell stitch row, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle. You can also block your shawl to give it a polished and professional finish. Simply wet block your shawl by soaking it in lukewarm water, shaping it into the desired shape, and letting it dry completely.
And there you have it – your very own Luxe Lace Shawl! I hope you enjoyed following along with this tutorial and that you love your finished project. Feel free to get creative with different yarn colors and textures to make your shawl truly unique.
