Double Gradient Boomerang Shawl
by Yay For Yarn
Project Level: Basic
Sizing:
Finished size and gauge will vary depending on your yarn and hook size choices. My shawl measured 64” (163 cm) long (across the “wingspan” or neck edge from end to end) and 15.5” (40 cm) deep at the widest point (from point of shawl up to neck edge).
Yarn:
This pattern is designed for any yarn, at any gauge. Choose two yarns of the same weight (thickness). I used two hand-dyed #1 Superfine / Fingering Weight yarns from Purple Lamb Fiber Arts.
- At least 100g / 3.5oz yarn in Color A (I used Purple Lamb Fiber Arts’ Eggplant colorway, dyed on the Sock Perfection yarn base, which contains 450 yards per 100g skein.)
- At least 100g / 3.5oz yarn in Color B (I used Purple Lamb Fiber Arts’ Bouquet colorway, dyed on the Sock Perfection yarn base, which contains 450 yards per 100g skein.)
You Will Also Need:
Crochet Hook in a size appropriate for the yarn you are using. I recommend a size or two larger than what is recommended on your yarn label. I used a US Size E / 3.5 mm crochet hook with my #1 Superfine yarn. Try out a couple different hook sizes, and see which one produces the drape and texture you want in your fabric with the yarn you are using.
Scissors
Ruler or Measuring Tape
Yarn Needle or Blunt Tapestry Needle
