It’s Fall Y’all Shawl Crochet Pattern

It’s fall, y’all! Wrap yourself in this fall shawl, with self-striping yarn in the colors of the season. Or opt for a solid color to highlight the lacy, cabled texture. Either way, the It’s Fall Y’all Shawl will take you into autumn in style.

Big thanks to Kirsten Holloway for the stunning photography and modeling!

Universal Yarns Classic Shades

The sample is shown in Universal Yarns Classic Shades yarn, in Sundown (#706). This lovely, worsted weight yarn is a combination of 70% acrylic and 30% wool. Unfortunately, it now seems to be discontinued.

Other Yarn Options

Any worsted-weight yarn should work for this pattern. I recommend wool or a wool blend. Subtle striping like the sample yarn gives a nice effect. Anything busier, like a variegated yarn or a yarn with more dramatic color changes, may obscure the cable pattern.

In the Universal Yarns line, Delux Worsted Superwash (solid or tweed) would be a great option. For a more luxurious feel, try Cassatt – a blend of alpaca, wool, nylon and viscose.

Starting Circle

There are a few different ways to make a starting ring or circle. For this pattern, I chose a circle of chains. I prefer this method over the magic loop in this case, because it allows the stitches to spread out more easily into the triangle shape. If you prefer to start with a magic loop, that will work as well. You may end up with a slight bump at the center top, but not enough to be noticeable.
