Concept and Design

I love making, wearing, and designing triangle scarves/shawls. I keep thinking that one day I will grow tired of them but I’m still going strong almost 2 years later. 😂 At first, I wanted to create a classic and simple go-to scarf for any and all skill levels. However, as I got closer finishing the Wynn shawl, I decided that it was a bit too plain and added a textured border. I don’t usually wing projects like this but, in the end, it turned out better than I expected.

One of my favorite ways to incorporate texture into a piece is with bean stitches. Beans are similar to a puff stitch but the difference is that a bean stitch does not start with a yarn over. I also used the Herringbone half double crochet in this design – if you don’t like this stitch, you can substitute with a regular half double crochet. If you purchase the inexpensive PDF, I have including working pictures to help you complete both the bean and Herringbone HDC stitches.

Yarn

WeCrochet has so many great yarns, I am slowly working my way through many of them. When I saw this dark and moody, deep burgundy color on their website, I just had to try it! The Wynn shawl is made using Hawthorne Tonal hand painted Hood River in fingering weight. The photographs really don’t do this yarn justice. It is so rich and beautiful in person, and there are several other gorgeous colorways in this line. The yarn itself was really nice to work with and I used almost all 4 hanks for this project (we’re talking like just a few yards left 🙌).  You can substitute with any sock/fingering (#1) weight yarn of your choosing.
