Using Two Types Of Yarn In One Project
It is fun to work up two types of yarn in one pattern and adds so much texture and variety. I chose to work some sections of this pattern with a fingering weight yarn (WeCrochet Palette), and others with a lace weight (WeCrochet Alpaca Cloud Lace). This creates areas of the shawl that look more solid or sheer. Remember to keep your tension consistent when working with two types of yarn.

If you like the look of this, the Short Row Fisherman’s Wharf Crochet Shawl also uses the Fingering Weight Palette yarn.

Gauge:
17 sts and 10 rows = 4” (10 cm) in the Shawl stitch pattern
OR 17 stitches and 15 rows = 4” (10 cm) in single crochet

Notes:
Chains at beginning of rows do not count as a stitch.

This pattern will increase one stitch per row and the stitch count will always match the row number after Row 1.

Placing stitch markers in first and last stitches of each row is recommended to keep track of stitches and eliminate the need to count stitches after each row.
