Crochet triangle shawl, free photo tutorial

Hello everyone.
Finally I made a short video with step by step photo tutorial for the simple crochet shawl I showed you a week ago.
However, I decided to remove old post and crochet a completely new shawl, cause I needed to correct a few mistakes I made while making the first one. Besides I don't want to make you feel confused, cause for the new shawl I used different type and colour of yarn, so it simply looks a little differnet.
Here's a photo of new shawl and a few basic tips. 


To make this shawl you need about 100 grams of thin yarn and crochet hook size 2 or 2,5 mm. The result depends of the type of yarn you use. Remember that natural yarns, such as cotton, wool, bamboo will stretch after washing and blocking, so your shawl will get bigger and more lacy. Acrylic yarns, like the shiny, soft grey one I used to crochet my shawl number two, don't stretch that much. 
And here's the full tutorial.




If you decide to make such shawl, please share the pictures of your work, I'll be very happy to see your creations.
Thank you for visiting and see you in the next post.

The cutest pink beanie (made of chain)

๐Ÿงถ Soft Beanie from Scrap Yarn

Hello, today I have something for those of you who have a small amount of thin, soft yarn (around 100g) and no idea what to make with it.

Since winter is here, my choice was obvious — another warm and cosy beanie.



๐Ÿชก A Different Approach

Instead of using a single thin strand of yarn, I decided to turn it into a chain first and use that as my main material. I had two balls (50g each) of very soft pink acrylic yarn, originally perfect for children’s accessories… but since I don’t have kids, I made a hat for myself instead.

To create the chain, I used a 3.5 mm crochet hook, and then switched to a 5.5 mm hook to make the beanie.





Pattern & Tips

You can use almost any hat pattern for this project — the simpler, the better. I especially recommend using relief double crochet stitches for a nice texture.

A pom-pom is optional, and you can always add your own decorations to personalise the piece.
