• as an easy read or mobile friendly version for both US terms and UK terms.

About the pattern

This is an experienced beginner crochet pattern for a crescent-shaped shawl with a unique construction, similar to pi shawl shaping in knitting.

The shawl sits easily on the shoulders because of the rounded top edge.

It can be made either in a long gradient or a single color.

The increases are illustrated by simple columns of eyelets that divide the shawl into narrower sections as you reach the outer edge. You can make fewer or more panels for a shawl that covers more or less of the body.

This creates the illusion of many petals, like those of the marigold.

The increase formula can be followed to make the shawl larger, depending on the desired finished size.

Skill level – Experienced beginner: you will use double crochet stitches, chains and pattern repeats.
