Crochet shawl – North bay
How I crocheted an unknown pattern from a colourful yarn
How I crocheted an unknown pattern from a colourful yarn
I still have one scarf I need to show to the world. This time, I didn't come up with any monkey business, my patterns, or anything weird. I just dared to name an unknown pattern.
While on a Lola yarn shopping spree, I bought four balls. It was Lola Rainbow in the Roses in a yarn of 935 meters and weighing 250 grams. The point is, it's exactly the same yarn as Lola in Granny, but the base colour is dark burgundy instead of beige.
The shawl grew rapidly while crocheting, the way I like it. I didn't crochet it for a long time, and I don't think I ever had to return to it. It was just so smooth.
In the end, the shawl measures 222 centimetres on the hypotenuse and 174 centimetres on the opposite.
The pattern tends to twist the ends a little more than usual, but it doesn't matter; it looks nice and the effect looks intentional.
However, as smoothly as the crocheting went, I haven't worn the shawl yet. I guess I didn't "bleed" enough while making it; it didn’t involve suffering or solving some weird issues. So, I don't have it as a trophy. Or maybe it's hard to combine it with my wardrobe. I haven't figured out the reason yet, but I'm not getting rid of the shawl. We'll see where it finds its place.
The pattern is well known, but the name has been unknown. Because it's very similar to the South Bay pattern, I thought I'd call this pattern North Bay. Here you have it!
