HAVE A HEART SHAWL

Crochet

3 Skeins 319 Cherry Red
Crochet Hook: 6mm [US J-10]
Yarn needle

What I Like: This pattern is perfect for a luxury variegated yarn. The style is rather old fashioned on its own. But it can be transformed into something more chic by simply choosing a nice artisan yarn.

Try a high end Japanese novelty yarn. Or stay with Red Heart Super Saver and simply choose a fashion-forward color like a Mustard Yellow, Deep Turquoise, or a color scheme of your choice. And it’s no longer grannie-style but Retro Chic! [pdf]
