OMBRE CROCHET SHAWL WITH ZEN YARN GARDEN
When the lovely peeps from Zen Yarn Garden reached out to try their Gradient Trio yarn, I just couldn't imagine how lovely this yarn is! I immediately started thinking what to make and then it hit me! I would make a triangle shawl which would reflect the color transition of the yarn!
I started working the shawl up and just fell in love with the effect. The shawl is worked in turned rows and you could use any fingering weight yarn to achieve the same effect, but I recommend you try it these gradient yarns in any color as the outcome is really pretty! So that’s something to keep in mind when selecting your yarn.
I hope you have fun with this easy yet interesting shawl, the stitch combination is very simple and is worked up really quickly. You can make your shawl as long as you want as the pattern is really adjustable!
