    Branching Out Shawlette

    Published: May 1, 2015 · Modified: Mar 24, 2020 by Tamara Kelly · 85 Comments

    I've been wanting to design a simple, half circular shawlette for a long time, and at long last the right yarn and the right pattern came together, and the Branching Out Shawlette is the happy result!

    The Branching Out Shawlette is a great shawl for beginners - the stitches are simple, but very pleasing, and it's an easy shawl to make. With it's clean, modern lines, I think it'll please people of all ages. And the Galileo Yarn is perfect. The combo of merino wool and bamboo make it light but warm, with great stitch definition - and very very soft!

    My mannequin, Susan, is a lot more petite than I am - and armless, poor dear. On fluffy 3x, 5'8", double armed me, the Branching Out Shawlette comes to the elbow - and the slightly-more-than-a-semicircle shape stays on very securely! I'm wearing it as I type!

      It's Beautiful!!!! Thank you for the time you put into making the pattern, and for offering it to us for free! If I wanted it longer, would I simply keep going in the pattern established before the "edging" rows, making the "gussets" wider as I go?

        You could make the gussets wider, or you could continue increasing between them - whichever you prefer! 🙂 Thank you so much!

      Can you offer any alternatives to the yarn? Unfortunately wool is not an option for me since I'm allergic but I would love to try making this.

        I think Knit Picks Shine Sport would be a great alternative! It has that great sheen, but it's cotton/modal blend would be allergy free and super comfy! 🙂 http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Shine_Sport_Yarn__D5420122.html

        Yes! 🙂 The increases are very simple, and apparent as you make the pattern. 🙂

      Hi Tamara! I love this! I've been looking for a shawl to make for my new dress but nothing was calling to me... until I saw this! I'm really excited about it (which is great because I only have until tomorrow evening to finish it. :-D)
      I do think there is a small error/typo in the pattern In row 30 it says to chain 2, but in row 31 (and each row after that) it says to cluster in the ch-3 space. Should this be a ch 2 or ch 3 space?
      Thank you for the free pattern! I can't wait to share a finished picture!

      I love the shape of this shawlette. It is a shape I would love. One problem. I'm a knitter and not good at crochet. Just the size I would love,too. Wish I could change it to knitting pattern. Thanks for sharing your work.

      First of all Thank YOU so much for sharing this amazing and stunning shawlette - I just love it!!!! I am wanting to make this for a dear and precious neighbor whom I know will just adore it!! My question to you is - because of age and some health problems her posture is not what it used to be and she stoops over a bit. I am concerned that it might not fit around the shoulders and was wondering how would I go about adjusting the pattern. I wasn't sure if it would still fit across the back because of the stooping and if you think it would still fit should I just add more to the length of the Shawlette to compensate for the bending over?? In case she would like to close it in the front do you think two smaller panels in the front would work?? Thanks for any help you can offer me.

        Thank you so much Cindy! I after a bit of pondering, I think I would make it wider around, which is actually pretty easy. In Row 1, start with 9 sts instead of 7! This will add two more sections - one on each side. The rest of the instructions will be the same, except of course for the st counts, and anywhere it says "5 times" you'd do it 7 times. Does that make sense? A little extra length might be good too, depending on her height.

      thank you for the pattern! i've never done front/back post stitches before & it's fun to watch the textures form. i have a question about the edging:when we reach the chain 2 + dc, do we sc over both the chain & dc? or do we sc over just the chain 2? thank you!

        I like to sc into the ch sp for as many chains as there are, and into each dc once. Or just skip the dc and work an extra sc into the ch sp. Either way works! 🙂

          for the edging across the top edge (neckline), do we put 2 single crochets into each double crochet?

        Hi Becca, and yes! 🙂 Just make a slip knot, as you normally would for crocheting a starting chain, but then use that loop as the circle to start crocheting into. Then you can pull the tail to close it up when you're done! 🙂

      Howdy Tamara! I've been crocheting for a long time but I have never crocheted a "garment". I've decided my" first" will be this Shawlette. I need help...more explanation, with the gauge please.

      I am using a sport weight yarn. Bernat Baby Sport, to be exact.(3 light). Your gauge says "13 sts x 8 rows = 4". Here is where I get confused. Do I make my swatch with double crochets using the "H" hook? Next problem in my head....how do I make the "gauge' if I want to make the Shawlette smaller using a "G" hook?

      Thanks in advance for your help.

        Hi Naunnie! Yes, just double crochets with the H hook. If you wanted to make it smaller by using a G hook though, I'd just make the swatch and make sure it does indeed come out smaller than the one I described - I could have much tighter tension than you do, and a G might give you the same as my H, in which case to shrink the pattern, you'd end up wanting to go down to an F! 🙂

          Thank you so much! If the "ladies" in the family have their way, I will be making several of these. We all love this shawlette and really appreciate all you do.

          I made two swatches. First was dc's with H. It came out perfect 4". Yay! Second one I used G hook and it came out 3 1/2". I thinking that may be just about right for my Daughters smaller frame. If this goes as well as expected, an F hook might work for Granddaughters. I'm excited! :o)

        Hi Fido!
        To add more rows, you do so at the bottom. As you work the written pattern, you'll see how the increases between the inserts are made and gradually increase. You just keep that up! 🙂

      All afternoon I have been searching for this pattern. I made it a while back and absolutely love it. I went through my printed patterns at least 3 times and did all kinds of searches on line. Finally saw a picture of it that led me back here. Thank Goodness. I am printing it out and never doing to lose it again. For those who have not yet made this, because it is more than a half circle, it stays on your shoulders well. It is easy to fasten it closed with a clip. And the ribs and inserts give a finished look. Thank you for all the effort you went through for this pattern. It is a keeper.

      I chose this as my next project, but I can't get past row 2. I've done it several times, but I only end up with 9 stitches instead of the 13 the pattern indicates. Could you help me out?

        Hello eJ, and thank you!

        In Row 2: You work 2 stitches into each of the first 3 sts of Row 1, then 1 st in the middle st, then 2 sts into each of the last 3 sts. That totals 13. It sounds like maybe you are only increasing on each end?

      Hi, This pattern is a true inspiration! You have designed it so that anyone can make it longer or wider if needed (and I need it). It is really fun to make and easy, once you get past row 2. I had chosen the new thick and thin Unforgettable Wave Yarn, which I had recently purchased. However, I'm beginning to realize that I either need a larger size hook or a thinner yarn so that it will 'flow' gracefully. Now I see why you picked Galileo; it looks very fluid from the photos. So I will be putting the Wave yarn aside for some later project and ordering some Galileo! Thank you for such a great treat.

      Hi! I’m making this for a friend using fingering weight yarn. I noticed that row 25 has 22 dc in between then row 26 has 24. Is that correct? 🙂 However I think mine will come out a lot smaller even after reaching row 26. Is there any way I can increase that before I do the rows with the chain spaces?

        Hi Din! Yes, with fingering it will be a lot smaller. You can just keep increasing in pattern until you're ready to start the special rows, in Row 26. 🙂 Yes, those numbers should be correct - though if you make more increases after Row 25 they won't be.
