Rainbow Stripes Shawl

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Rainbow Stripes Shawl. I wanted to make something fun for the upcoming spring season that you can wrap around your shoulders to take the chill off. The Rainbow Stripes Shawl is a beginner-friendly pattern as it’s a one-row repeat pattern.

For the Rainbow Stripes Shawl, I used #4 worsted weight yarn in 10 different colors. I used Knit Picks Heatherly Worsted, however, you can use any yarn you’d like. I also used a size  J-10 (6.0 mm) crochet hook. My favorite crochet hooks to use are the Clover Amour. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!

Rainbow Stripes Shawl

Materials:

• (1) skein each of Knit Picks Heatherly Worsted in Sweet Bing, Sweetheart, Peach Fuzz, Butter, Key Lime, Agave, Seaglass, Cabana, Atmosphere, Lilac
• J-10 (6.0 mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Size:

23×81

Notes:

• To change the width of this shawl, you will need to make a chain that’s a multiple of 10 plus 2. (Example: 10×3=30 plus 2=32)
• I changed colors every six rows.
• I highly recommend weaving in your ends every few color changes. This will help you to not have so many ends to weave in at the very end.
