Asymmetrical Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern and Crochet Tutorials

Trying out my hand at designing a Asymmetrical shawl crochet pattern was fun to say the least! To get to see it grow every row was actually quite satisfying!

This is a super easy 2 row repeat and looks great on both sides! It doesn’t get better than this, does it?

Me and my husband actually like the way the back of the stitch looks better than the front side of the stitch. Which for us makes this a double sided shawl!

I’ll let you decide.

I used 3 skeins for the shawl. Use the last skein to create the tassel in advanced before connecting the last skein to the shawl.

I finished my shawl after a single crochet row and I had 120 sts.
