And how about some crochet symbol charts?
Brown Butter Shawl Charts
(Please do NOT pin the charts to Pinterest!) Below, you can see a full symbol chart of the first 6 rows on the left, with a chart for the center portion of each row on the right. Remember the repeats – starting with Row 5, the pattern is mesh, solid, solid. And every row begins and ends with 3 dc.
But wait, there’s more! Here’s a Pin so you *can* save this tutorial to your favorite Pinterest board!
I hope that the videos and chart help you make your own Brown Butter Shawl! There were a few errata in the written pattern, but one of the things I love about making tutorials is that it gives me a chance to catch any errors – and fix them! So everything should be all set now, and ready for crochet success!

Hi I wondering about row eight .. it doesn’t Work out right for me .. maybe I’m not reading it right .. but just before your middle where you put three double crochets in the Center .. should it end up double crochet and skip and chain then three double crochets or it’s it double crochet chain and don’t skip at stitch and then three double crochets in the Center ?
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Cathy! The center of Row 8 as worked into the center 3 sts of Row 7 is dc in the dc before the marked st, ch 1, 3 dc in the marked st, ch 1, dc in the next st (the st after the marked st). Does that help? 🙂 You can also see this in the chart above.
Iraida says
I need some help!!! I am not new to crocheting and followed the pattern as posted and I watched the video tutorial. I used a 9 mm crochet hook and Red Heart Essentials yarn , the only difference, I used 2 skeins of solid colors. I’m on row 19 and have only used 2 rows worth of the second skein and at this stage, the shawl looks very small. What did I do wrong. Should I repeat more rows? If yes, which rows? I’m attaching a picture of what I’ve crocheted thus far and as stated, I’m on row 19!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Iraida! If you are sure you are using the same yarn – http://www.redheart.com/yarn/soft-essentials-stripes – then it sounds like you might have a tighter gauge than I do – there’s nothing wrong with that, but it can cause issues! Be sure to measure your gauge against the one listed in the pattern. If you do like the fabric but the gauge is off, that’s okay, you can just add more rows to get to the size you need (though it will use extra yarn).
Karen V says
Bought this yarn today and hoping to get working On this soon
Tamara Kelly says
😀 I hope you enjoy it!
CaliKat777 says

Tamara Kelly says

Sharon Araujo says
Love this shawl and tutorial. I have been looking for a pattern to use for a prayer shawl for a friend with breast cancer and this is great!❤️
Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thank you so much! I hope your friend gets better soon. ♥
Melissa jensEn says
Hiya! I am working on this shawl now. I’m using a slightly thinner yarn and 7mm hook. I already know that I’m going to use more yarn, and I think I have it figured out how I will repeat rows to make it bigger (using the mesh, solid, solid rhythm). I know that I missed stitches at the end (those durn 3 doubles into one stitch >.<!), but I’m going to leave it as is and see how it comes out. It will have.. personality xD
Deborah Krim says
I love your pattern and color choice! The tutorial and chart were very helpful. However this is more like a cowl than a shawl. I’ve been trying to add rows but it needs to be wider as well as longer.
Barb M says
Have you tried making a bigger version? Would it work just to follow the same sequence and add 3 more rows?
Tamara Kelly says
I haven’t myself, but that should work!
Lynette says
Love this pattern. I am using a thinner cotton yarn. It will have to be bigger. Should I just repeat the pattern at the end of row 20 until I get the size I want?
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Lynette! If you repeat the last 3 rows it should work fine. 🙂
Donna Freeman says
This is my go to pattern for quick presents for Christmas i love how it works up i am using a red heart love this yarn and the n-9.0mm hook it is looking a little lacy just what i was going for it is going to go to my best friend she gets real cold in the winter so this is perfect for her
Tamara Kelly says
😀 I’m so glad you like it, thank you Donna!
Thilothama Bhat says
Hi Tamara , loved the tutorial and made it in very thin yarn …and as Iraida says above I too ended up in a very small cowl like thing….then I looked up the yarn you used and saw it was bulky…so will do one more with bulkier yarn and continue this one with many more rows…Thanks a ton for the beautiful pattern..
Tamara Kelly says
I’m so glad you like it! I bet it’s lovely in the thinner yarn too!
inkey says
This is a beautiful pattern. I am having trouble worth done of the rows. Row. 9. Im not getting 57 count.
I’ve pulled it out twice.
Any thoughts?
Inkey
Tamara Kelly says
Can you tell me some more info? Are you getting too few, too many?
Nancy K Estes says
I get 54 and it says 57.
Tamara Kelly says
Is this the same person as “inkey”? If so, this is in reference to Row 9?
Missing 3 is tricky – it’s hard to say where they are getting skipped. Make sure you are counting your ch-3 as a stitch, and not skipping any of the ch sps, in particular the ones on either side of the center point. I wish I could be more help but without being able to sit down with the whole piece, it’s hard to say!
Jessica says
Wish I could post a pic of the finished work. The pattern was very simple and it worked up really fast. I used Mandela yarn in Sphinx, and it came out really pretty. I just repeated the same three rows over and over. 2 cakes totsl. Thank you for my new to to pattern for quick shawls!
Tamara Kelly says
I’m so glad you liked it Jessica! Please feel free to share your photo on the Moogly Facebook page!
Charlene Reinhart says
The Red Heart yarn had joins in inconvenient spots. Because I had to cut and retie, I do not have enough yarn to complete the project. I just finished row 20 and I do not have enough yarn left to SC around. I would suggest that people buy three skeins of same dye lot.
I purchased the last four skeins of the dye lot to make two shawls. Can’t get any more.
Tamara Kelly says
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear you had bad luck with the yarn – you can always contact Red Heart about yarn troubles! http://www.redheart.com/ContactUs
Ash says
I want to continue the pattern beyond the 20 rows, but I’m a bit confused about the very middle and how to continue those stitches beyond the 20th row with regard to chain spaces versus just three double crochet in the center stitch.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Ash! Repeating the last 3 rows should work (before the border that is). 🙂
Debra TillotSon says
Enjoyed the video. It was very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!!! Brown butter shawl!!!
Nancy says

Tamara Kelly says
Hi Nancy! The size is listed along with gauge in the written pattern: https://www.mooglyblog.com/brown-butter-shawl/ 🙂
