Crochet your own shawls, wraps, capelets, and afghans from this
collection of stylish patterns Shawls, wraps, and afghans are a
simple yet colorful way to liven up your wardrobe or home--they are
comforting and cozy, but they can also be stylish and delicate.
Modern Crocheted Shawls and Wraps has 35 patterns ranging from a
simple, slip-on crochet wrap, to a large open-work shawl with
tassels, and an emerald-green afghan with contrasting borders.
There are lace-patterned shawls to drape around your shoulders at a
party, or capelets to add a layer of warmth to your outfit on
chilly days. Granny hexagons and stars are used to make giant
rectangular wraps and afghans, while triangle stitch and puff
stitch add texture and weight. There's even a "stash-buster"
pattern with a mix-and-match border designed to use up your
colorful leftover yarns. Many of the shawls would make excellent
gifts--particularly as "prayer shawls"--and of course, one size
fits all!
