Meet the Rosewater Shawl, a beautiful crochet rectangle shawl with delicate openwork and a lovely, lightweight drape.
It's a relaxing project to crochet and can be worn in several different ways. I love the soft, feminine look of this design and I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did.
To make this shawl, you should be familiar with basic crochet stitches and terminology. All you need to start is one skein of your favourite fingering weight yarn (I used one skein of YarnArt Flowers gradient ''cake'' yarn) and a 4 mm crochet hook.

Gauge: 10 stitches = 5 cm (2’’) in double crochet, 1 pattern repeat (Rows 4 – 17) = 18 cm (7’’) in height, after blocking.
Skill Level: Easy to Intermediate - advanced beginner.
Materials Used:
Fingering weight yarn, size 1 - super fine. I used YarnArt Flowers (250g/ 1000m) 55% cotton, 45% acrylic yarn in color 305. 1 skein of yarn needed for this pattern. 4.0 mm (US size G/6) crochet hook. Scissors. Measuring tape. Yarn needle or a latch hook.

( )* – repeat instructions between the parentheses as directed.
( ) - stitch count for each row is listed in italic parentheses at the end of each row.
RS – right side – the front side of the work.
WS – wrong side – the back side of the work.
Pattern Notes:
- The shawl is worked sideways in back and forth rows to form a rectangle. After the main body is completed, yarn is joined to the foundation chain edge and Rows 4 – 7 of the stitch pattern are worked to create matching ends.
- To adjust the shawl size, increase or decrease the number of foundation chains in multiples of 4 + 3. The length can be adjusted by working more or fewer pattern repeats (Rows 4 – 17).
- The sample shawl uses one full cake of YarnArt Flowers. If you make a larger shawl, you will need additional yarn.
- Beginning (turning) ch3 counts as 1 dc throughout the pattern.
- Blocking is recommended to enhance stitch definition and shape.
Instructions
Before you begin: Measure and set aside approximately 32 meters (35 yards) of yarn from beginning of the cake (of yarn unworked). This reserved yarn will be used to work rows along the foundation edge after the shawl is complete, allowing to match the colors at the beginning of the shawl.
If you are using a solid color yarn, you can skip this step. Reserving yarn is only necessary when using a gradient yarn cake.
