Lake Rita Shawl Crochet Pattern

PDF (instant-download) of the Lake Rita Shawl Crochet Pattern, named after the song by Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon.  You can use any worsted weight yarn and lighter to make this shawl. The pattern tells you how to make it using Yarntuary sock/fingering (weight 1) yarn or Lion Brand Jeans, a weight 4 yarn. You can use either weight or any weight in between (or even weight 0). The shawl is made from top to triangle tip. There really isn’t anything special you need to do if using a yarn weight other than the ones listed in the pattern. Simply follow the instructions and stop the repeat rows when you’ve reached the desired size (just be sure to leave a little yarn to do a row of edging across the top).  The pattern contains clear, detailed instructions and pictures, as well as an additional section at the end with step by step instructions and photos for ALL stitches used! Wear the shawl in three ways: 1) Hold it out in front of you and wrap it around your neck, 2) Hold it so the bottom triangle tip is at your side (pointing down arm) and wrap it around your neck, 3) Bring it behind you, against your back, and let it hang over your shoulders.  The shawl is beautiful and the pattern is very easy.  Materials: 3 hanks Yarntuary Sparkle Sock (70% Merino Wool, 20% nylon, 10% stellina, 400 yd, 100g) Size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook or 3 skeins Lion Brand Jeans Size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook Tapestry needle If using wool yarn: knit blockers or rust-proof pins for blocking Measurement (inches): With Yarntuary Yarn: 28 tall down middle; 46 wide across top, 34.5 wide along sides With Lion Brand Jeans: 28.5 tall down middle; 45.5 wide across top, 34 wide along sides The skill level of this pattern is advanced beginner.
