Hello, precious soul! This week, you’re going to learn how to get started making this lovely, summery, crochet shawl pattern! Keep reading to find out more.

In her debut design for Expression Fiber Arts, Elizabeth Myers says, “Verano was inspired by the Spanish word for summer. This beautiful, crocheted shawl is light and airy and uses only two stitches.”

“The shawl begins with a center triangle, and then additional rows are worked on the two opposite sides of the shawl. The rows of Moss stitch add additional surface texture and visual interest. The picot edging adds a delicate finish to the border. Let it sweep you away to a faraway summer escape!”

Verano is an intermediate level crochet shawl pattern that is perfect for those who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include: working from a diagram, textured stitches, and a picot edging.

Verano features our Luster Sport yarn, which contains beautiful, shimmering Lyocell (50%) and soft, fine Superwash (machine-washable) Merino Wool (50%).

The sample is shown in colors: A) Frosted Freesia and B) Bella (one skein each of Colors A and B). 

The sample used 785 yards total: A) 395 yards and B) 395 yards [718 m total: A) 361 m and B) 361 m]. 

Please note that the sample shawl used almost all of both skeins. You will want to check your gauge throughout the project. If your gauge varies at all from the designer’s gauge, please consider purchasing extra skeins or going down a hook size to ensure you have enough yarn.

We made a video demonstrating the different parts of this crochet shawl pattern. Take a look, and see how easy it is to make this piece, which would be a lovely addition to your summer wardrobe.
