It was while swatching for another project that the idea for this shawl was born. With simple stitches, an asymmetrical shape, and an edging of petal-like points, the Snowdrop Shawl proves that a project doesn’t have to be complicated to be a knockout.

- Anonymous Worsted Weight Yarn

[...] my personal favorite, the snowdrop shawl. To quote from the website, which describes it better than I [...]
Very cool… gotta try this!
Beautiful shawl, thanks so much for sharing it! One question, I can’t find a reference for the amount of yarn needed. Do you remember how much you used?
I used about 7 ounces – I could have used a bit more to make it a bit bigger, but I had only 7 ounces of the yarn (which was a mystery vintage acrylic yarn). It does use up more yarn than a traditional lace shawl because of the textured stitch. Hope this helps!
Loving this pattern! My very first baby afghan for my first Grandchild was this st pattern I really enjoy, sc in dc, dc in sc, made even more lovely with the style Anastacia has created. Nice drape too with the 7.5mm hook.
hola estoy visitandote muy bueno voy a llevarme algun patroncito para mostrarlo en mi blog un beso grande desde uruguay
Love this. Just finished one. One question though; do you have other pics to show how to wear it?
Thanks
OK, Things are going well. but I finished row 13 that ends with double crochet that is marked. Now I continue to row 10 and it says turn etc. into the last single crochet marked. Row 13 ended with the double crochet. Pattern says continue rows 10-13. Can someone advise, please?
I’ve started this project several times and taken in out each time before with can get to the 7th row. For some reason, I can’t get the pattern to do what I think bit should and have gotten myself confused about how many stitches are supposed to be placed into one stitch. I’m not coming out with the correct numbers of stitches in each row. Do you have a diagram available of the stitches so I can see how it looks? Thanks you!
thanks so much- can’t wait to start!
What a beautiful wrap. Thank you for the pattern. I like to give unique gifts of crochet like this pattern to friends.
