Don’t let the name fool you … this Weekender Shawl Crochet Pattern isn’t just for weekends! Throw it on any time for a relaxed and stylish vibe. Best of all, the stitch pattern is fully reversible so no matter how you wrap or drape it it’s always showing it’s best side! I’m especially loving it worked up in Lion Brand Jeans yarn … don’t they make a great combination?!

I love this stitch and would like to use it in a twisted cowl. It is hard for me to figure out the stitch pattern since it is written specifically for your lovely weekender shawl. Would you be willing to clarify for me? Thank you!
Lori says
I was wondering how much of the Top Stitch color you used? I was thinking of beginning with it and was wondering if there was enough to do that? Or would I need to buy a 2nd skein?
Linda james says
Thanks

Hi Kara. Thanks for answering. I’m using Lion Brand Jeans yarn and when I used one skein the shawl was way too small. I went to a J hook and started over. I’ve used two skeins of color A to start. Is the only increase at the center ch-2 space? I love this pattern. Can’t wait to finish it! Thanks, Linda
Kara says
By working in the single crochet at the beginnings and ends of each row, you are adding increases there as well.
Linda james says
How many skeins of each color
Kara says
3 colors worsted weight yarn, approx. 246 yd each. If using Lion Brand Jeans Yarn that would be 1 skein of each.
