Hello, beautiful soul! Today, I have a lovely, colorful crochet shawl pattern to share with you. I think you’re going to want to wrap yourself in the rainbow embrace of this stunning shawl, so keep reading for all the details!

Rechaka was designed by Janica York Carter. When asked about this pattern, Janica said, “The seven colors of the rainbow are also associated with the seven chakras that are used in a variety of ancient meditation practices. Chakras are considered to be centers of energy in your spirit, and some yoga techniques are designed to benefit chakras through movement, breath, and meditation. This rectangular wrap blends the colors from the root to the crown with simple stitches and a central column of filet lace. It is also large enough to cover a standard yoga mat if you wish to incorporate these colors into your own meditations.”

This is a Beginner level pattern that is ideal for crocheters who are just beginning or have crocheted a project or two. Stitches include double crochet, single crochet, and chain stitches to create filet lace. The pattern includes written and charted instructions.

Rechaka is crocheted with our heartwarming Twisted Tweed Sport yarn. It’s a wonderfully soft and bouncy, unique fiber blend that includes two types of wool that are twisted together, which results in a cool, barber pole effect with gold, plum and brown Donegal Tweed neps. This yarn base is both earthy, homey, and charming, as well as a hip and modern, and the colors are out of this world! Twisted Tweed Sport is a blend of 43% Superwash Merino Wool, 42% Fine Merino Wool, and 15% Donegal with 384 yds/351 m per skein. I love this yarn base for super sweet sweaters and snuggly accessories, shawls, blankets, and more!

The sample shown here was made with our Chakra Hues Twisted Tweed Sport Kit and used approximately 1,452 m / 1,590 yds total: Color A – 201 m / 220 yds, Color B – 210 m / 230 yds, Color C – 210 m / 230 yds, Color D – 210 m / 230 yds, Color E – 210 m / 230 yds, Color F – 210 m / 230 yds, and Color G – 201 m / 220 yds. The colors were used in the following order: A) Root Chakra (red), B) Sacral Chakra (orange), C) Solar Plexus Chakra (yellow), D) Heart Chakra (green), E) Throat Chakra (light blue), F) Third Eye Chakra (dark blue), and G) Crown Chakra (purple).
