Nothing says ‘Winter’ like a warm, cozy shawl, but there’s no reason it needs to be plain. The points in the design are reminiscent of the petals of a flower and the greater than a semi-circle shape lends itself well to wrapping, making it a great way to brighten up your winter wardrobe!

- Anonymous worsted weight wool, about 400 yds
- I/9 (5.50mm size) hook
- Removable stitch markers (optional)

This is beautiful and I will definitely try to do it. I say “try” because there is no chart and I am not sure of my ability to read the instructions. Thank you for sharing the pattern!
Thanks for the beautiful pattern! I can’t wait to make it.
Please tell me how to print only the one picture of the shawl and also the diections without everything else as I crochet shawls for our local breast cancer center. This shawl would be a lovely one for these ladies.
Thanks, Jane
Hi, Jane. Using the system dialog (the “print” on your web browser) will remove most of the extras automatically, however if you specifically want ONLY the directions and one picture, I recommend copying and pasting into a Word document to print it out.
Hope this helps!
Hello Sheri,
What a beautiful design, I think the shawl is very pretty. Thank you for sharing the pattern, that is very generous of you!
Sooo gorgeous! Thanks for the wonderful free pattern ..You are very talented.
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! I just shared on FB and I want to make one for myself and every lady I know!!! This is the most fantastic looking shawl/wrap I have EVER seen, EVER!!!!!! Note my extreme excitement!!!
I love this pattern. I have added it to my todo pile as I love making shawls and giving them away.
Great stash buster. I’ve made four already.
is there avideo for this because i love it so much but i don’t know how to do it:)
The pattern that i just saw was out of this world i mean it takes a lot of creativity to make something like that,of course i its all baby steps BUT THIS DESIGN IS CRAZY COOL!
Beautiful shawl!
Has the pattern been reduced to a diagram? I find using a diagram much simpler than the written instructions.
Hi Cheri,
Thanks for taking the time to post this beautiful pattern, so easy to read and follow… Im on my 9th row. Shawl and crochet lovers must definitely try this.
I am making some shawls for the paryer ministry for the church I go to Thank you for sharing this Linda
Finished my first of probably a few of my shawls, thank to your wonderfully easy to follow pattern. thank you so very much
I just love this pattern. It prompted me to pick up crochet hook and get started on one of my own. If it comes out looking anything like yours I plan to make some for presents for family and friends.
Keep up the good work. You have real talent.
And thank you for your generosity in giving us this pattern.
Thanks for sharing ! you can now proudly say that in France, a homeless baby girl born 3 weeks ago is a little warmer thanks to your pattern (her name is Anna Maria !). I did it in light pink, of course…
Gorgeous pattern! Thank you for generously sharing! -K
Thank you for sharing this pattern! I just finished my first one, and I appreciate your generosity.
