With many Butterfly Shawl Crochet patterns of lacy design have been made, I decided to turn to my attention to colder weather and decided to go with a warmer stitch with lots of texture! I originally thought this would be a shawl we’d share, but using thicker stitches really shrunk this shawl’s design, unlike the more lacy shawls I’ve done so far. It fits her perfectly!
This was the full 1000 meter yarn cake. I can tell already that if I make a bigger version of this design that it would be more of a wrap than a shawl before my yarn cake ran out. Feel free to just keep going with the design if you’re working with more yarn, or stop the repeat short to make a shorter butterfly shawl.
