Fortune’s Shawlette was inspired by the ubiquitous corner to corner stitch, aka the diagonal box stitch. But of course I had to add my own twist to the idea, creating a lacier, more open, summer ready stitch pattern. And boy, did it earn it’s name!
Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links.
One skein of Knit Picks Fingering Hawthorne Fingering was used… and in the end, there was only 1 yard left over! Good fortune indeed! And while I was crocheting it, the stitch pattern reminded me of diamond plate – another sign!
The result is gorgeous, and just right for year round – bunch it up for warmth, stretch it out for a light as air layer on the shoulders. If you want a bigger shawl, you could try a thicker yarn, or even use the same yarn and add more rows – it’s super easy, and once you get started, it’ll fly off the hook!

I hope you enjoy Fortune’s Shawlette free crochet pattern! It was super fun to crochet – and fast too! I love one skein patterns, and I love the effect of blocking lace like this. It was pretty before blocking, but blocking it out really made the stitches open up beautifully. As for the shawl pins, the stick was picked up at my local JoAnn fabrics, and the copper swirl was part of the first Ficstitches Yarn Kit – you can order it separately at Craftwich Creations!

I love this pattern – I’ve been looking for something to do on a long haul flight and this looks perfect.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Andria! Enjoy your trip!
Sue Plantinga
This is truly the first pattern for a crochet accessory that I really like! Now to find just the right yarn to make it – and thank you for making the pattern free!!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Sue!
Suchi
That looks like a gorgeous pattern, Tamara. Thank you for making it available for free. Can it really be done with a single skein?
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much! Yes, if it’s a big enough skein! 😉
Klara
Love it, love it, love it! Thank you!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Klara!
Nicole H
I’m getting started on this right now! I don’t have a full skein of fingerling yarn… So we’ll see how far I get before I have to buy more yarn. Haha.
Nicole H
Sorry, I’m stuck on “ch3 sp of previous row.” I know what this means, I’m just having a hard time finding the correct stitch to put my hook in. My pattern isn’t looking like yours. If you could share a close-up pic, that might help.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Nicole! This stitch can be a little crazy if you haven’t seen it done before. I hope to add a video tutorial in the next month, but for now, take a look at this one, I’ve got it linked to the right moment: https://youtu.be/I5G9IM24LFU?t=4m33s She’s using British terms, and she isn’t doing the ch 1, skip 1 in between the dc sts, but it shows where the ch-3 sp is, and how to sl st into it. 🙂
Nicole H
Thanks Tamara, that helps. I got it right on the second try, but mine still doesnt look like yours. We’ll see!
Tamara Kelly
It’s pretty bunchy at first! 🙂
Shannon
I’m so glad you added this! I was just scrolling through to see if anyone else was having the same problem. I made one with some heavier “fingering” weight and it wasn’t as lacy as yours. I decided to use more of a lace yarn and it is bunching up a bit. I kept thinking that the weight would eventually cause it to lay as nicely as yours does. Thank you for sharing another awesome.s pattern! I hope to make about 10 of these for Christmas!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Shannon!
Meghan
Thank you for this – I was using my phone when I started the pattern and so I didn’t see the link to the side and I was stuck, too! The video cleared it right up, though. First time doing this stitch, but I’m on row 6 and it’s already looking gorgeous. Thank you for this pattern – this will be the first wearable I’ve made for myself since I started crocheting in February 🙂
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much! There’s just so many places you can stick a hook while crocheting – makes it tricky to describe in words sometimes!
Kathy Cramer
I put a stitch marker in the left over chain 3 from the original chain 6 after that it worked up just like the c2c. I love it. I have been looking for something to use my Ice yarn for and this is perfect. Thank You
Tamara Kelly
Good idea Kathy! 😀 And thank you!
Janet-mae
It all makes sense now! Thank you!
Tamara Kelly
Oh good!! I’m so glad. 🙂
Jennifer M
I love this! Also, tried it out just to see how it works up and it is so easy! Thanks for the free pattern!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much!
Emily
I’m wondering what method you used to block it? It’s absolutely beautiful!
Tamara Kelly
I got it good and wet, pinned it out, and let it air dry. 🙂
Jen
This pattern spoke to me, telling me to make it. Now. So, I went on your recommended yarn site, and bought 2 skeins of the color I liked! This will be in my ‘Next to make’ list, that changes daily! Thanks for creating such a wonderful pattern.
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you Jen!!

Take a look at this video, I’ve got it linked to the right moment: https://youtu.be/I5G9IM24LFU?t=4m33s She’s using British terms, and she isn’t doing the ch 1, skip 1 in between the dc sts, but it shows where the ch-3 sp is, and how to sl st into it.

This is a beautiful shawlette. I made it this evening with Patons Lace Sequins colour Moonstone. I will post a picture on Ravelry tomorrow. It is simply beautiful and easy to make. 🙂
Kelley Ann Lahey
The picture is now on Ravelry.

Tamara Kelly
🙂 You’re very welcome, thank you!
Tamara Kelly
Oh I can’t wait to see it! 😀 Thank you!
Tammy Wolfe
This is so beautiful! I’ve been searching for a project for some lovely, fingering yarn I purchased about 2 years ago, and this is it! Took me a couple tries to figure out early on that each slip stitch went In a different ch3 sp, but once I got it, I got it! I’ve made several of your beautiful patterns and they all turned out great. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing with us!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Tammy! ♥
Isabelle
Looking for something to do on a transatlantic flight next week… and i think that i found what i was looking for! Can you tell me how much time it will takes to do this (approx)?
Thank you!
Tamara Kelly
Not much! I don’t time myself – too many interruptions! But I want to say it took around 8 hours of crocheting… that’s my best guess anyway. 🙂 Have a great trip!!
isabelle
I’ll put pictures on Ravelry when i’ll come back! Thank you!
kAREN gENDA
This is just gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing – I can’t wait to make this for my daughter. She works in New York City and wears scarves/warps pretty much year round.

I am struggling with getting this started. Do you have a video of the first 3 rows?
Tamara Kelly
Not yet, I’ll be making a video when I return from the Knit and Crochet Show. 🙂

Debbie
This is a gorgeous shawl! I have a wedding to attend in a couple weeks and want to make it in time for the occasion. I too, am having some trouble getting started, but I don’t see the a link for the video mentioned in a recent comment. Could you please provide it so I can get started on this amazing pattern? Thank you so much for sharing this!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Debbie! Here’s what I said in the other comment: I hope to add a video tutorial in the next month, but for now, take a look at this one, I’ve got it linked to the right moment: https://youtu.be/I5G9IM24LFU?t=4m33s She’s using British terms, and she isn’t doing the ch 1, skip 1 in between the dc sts, but it shows where the ch-3 sp is, and how to sl st into it. 🙂
Debbie
Thanks!
Anja
Gorgeous pattern! I did it like in the youtube video but with the skipping, but my work doesn’t really look like your pattern. Probably because I used a 100% cotton yarn, so everything looks very compact. Well since this one is only a test I’m not to unhappy about it. However you lost me completely at the edging rows. I hope you will show how to make those in your video as well =) Can’t wait for it =D and next time I’ll try a viscose cotton yarn because wool or polyacrylic yarns are just too hot for summer. I hope it’ll work. However thank you so much for the gorgeous pattern.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Anja! I’ll try to work the border in there for sure, thank you for letting me know it’s needed! Mine looked kinda compact and squished too, until I blocked it!
Anja
I’m so sorry but what does block actually mean in crochet terms? (I’m not a native English speaker and my dictionary isn’t really of help with this.)
Tamara Kelly
Sorry Anja! The little squares that you’re making in this pattern. 🙂 Because of the nature of this stitch, there aren’t standard rows to measure.
Anja
I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I read one of the other comments where someone said they finished their shawl and it’s small but once they blocked it it willl hopefully be as big as the one you made. Now here’s the question:
So blocking the shawl is actually an activity that one has to do after the actual crochet part is over? How do you block it? I mean what does one have to do in order to block the shawl, what kind of activity is behind that term? Can you describe what blocking as an activity actually means or what it should be/look like?
I’m sorry if this is a weird or stupid question. But I love the pattern just so much and I want to do it right.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Anja! There are several methods of blocking, but with lace, the best way is usually to get the finished item soaked, gently squeeze out the excess water, and then pin it out on a blocking board, stretching the fabric into shape, and then letting it air dry. 🙂
Jen
Hi again! Just received my yarn from Knitpicks, printed off the pattern ( I usually have trouble with my printer, it doesn’t like me!), and have my pattern and yarn stashed together in plain site, so I can start it next. Can’ wait! I’m also getting my new yarn spinner that has 3 spinners on 1 base, can’t wait until that comes on Saturday. It is Christmas in July for me!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Awesome!
Amy
This is my first crocheting a shawl or shawlette. It’s also my first time using a pattern. Usually, I can just look at a picture and figure it out. I’m hoping to make several of these as gifts for my bridesmaids. So far, what I have is looking more like a scarf. Is it supposed to look like this first starting or am I doing something wrong?
Tamara Kelly
Hi Amy! It should look like a triangle with a jagged top. I will be adding a video tutorial next month when I get home! 🙂
Dana
Each week I look forward to seeing your email in my inbox and can’t wait to see what new ideas and patterns I’ll find. This week I was intrigued in the shawl pins that were used in the photos of this shawlette. I love shawl pins and really like both the spiral and wooden pins! Do you know where they might be purchased from?
Tamara Kelly
Hi Dana! There’s some info on the pins at the bottom of the pattern! 🙂
Dawn
I’m making this as a gift for my sister…the body of it worked up very quickly but I’m really struggling with the edging. Obviously row 1 was simple, but I’m just not getting the v-stitch counts the pattern calls for. From there I’m sure I’ll be ok, but I am lost…
Tamara Kelly
Hi Dawn! To break it down in “words” rather than pattern-speak, it’s a V stitch in every other stitch, with 3 V sts in the point. The first and last V stitch, at the top of the shawl on either side, is a bit wider than the rest, with a ch-3 instead of a ch-2. Does that help?
Fuego Azul
I have to drop everything else & make this shawl! It is absolutely beautiful!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much!
Mary
Hi,
Thanks for the video link. I love this, but am new to crochet, so I was totally confused. I will view the video that you linked. Thanks again.
Tamara Kelly
🙂 I hope it helps!
Jenny
Fell in love with this the minute I saw it!!! I am making one now using a locally made super wash merino wool that I picked up in Tempe, AZ. It is a hand painted yarn in jade green and teal. I have just started the edging this evening and the shawl is gorgeous! Very small, but I know when I block it it will be the finished size of your shawl. Thank you very much for offering this pattern to all of us, it is so generous of you. The pattern is very well written and easy to follow. The repeat allows it to be a handy “non-thinking” pattern and the result is amazing. Would love to send you a picture after it is completed. Is there a way to do that? Again, thanks! I am a huge fan!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Jenny, I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! You can send me photos at tamarakelly@mooglyblog.com, or share them on the Moogly Facebook page! 🙂
lucy
Hi, loveing the pattern. And thank u so much. I am currently having a bit of troble with edging row 3. The number of the stiches, 56times down one side. So do I do the that in every chain space. As that does add up, but looks nothing like your shwal edging. As u also seem to miss one. Or is it 2dc ch2 x2 in each ch sp.????? Confused. Kind regards.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Lucy! This seems to be a confusing row, there are some explanations in the other comment replies. I’ll add a video tutorial when I get back from the Knit and Crochet Show! 🙂
Sharon
Would love a video tutorial of this design. Simple beautiful
Tamara Kelly
As soon as I get home from the Knit and Crochet show! 🙂
Christina wright
Thank-you for this lovely pattern! I have been saving some handpainted merino from a very special trip, and this was the perfect shawl for it.
I, also had some problems with the edging, this is what I did: Edging Row 2: Ch 2, (dc, ch 3, dc) in 1st st, skip 2 sts, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next st 26 times, [skip the next st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in the next st] 4 times, skip 2 sts, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next st 26 times, skip the next 3 sts, (dc, ch 3, dc) in the ch 1 sp between the dc and sc at the end of row 41; turn. (57 V sts)
I will post the 3rd row tomorrow, as my crafting time is over for today.
Christina wright
Edging Row 3: Ch 2, dc in 1st st, (2 dc, ch 2) in next ch sp 28 times, 4 dc in next ch sp (at the point), ch 2, (2 dc, ch 2) in next ch sp 27 times, 2dc in the last ch3 sp(V st), dc in the top of the ch2 from row 2; turn. (118 dc sts)
Edging Row 4: sl st in 2nd dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc, (ch 2, sl st in next dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc) 28 times, ch 3, sl st in next dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc, (ch 2, sl st in next dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc) 28 times, sl st in the top of ch2 from row 3; break yarn and finish off. (59 ch-3 loops)
Christina wright
For some reason the Ravelry software took out my brackets. THIS is what I did: Edging Row 2: Ch 2, (dc, ch 3, dc) in 1st sc, {skip 2 sts, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next st} 26 times, {skip the next st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in the next st } 4 times, {skip 2 sts, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next st} 26 times, skip the next 3 sts, (dc, ch 3, dc) in the ch 1 sp between the dc and sc at the end of row 41; turn. (57 V sts)
Edging Row 3: Ch 2, dc in 1st st, {(2 dc, ch 2) in next ch sp} 28 times, 4 dc in next ch sp (at the point), ch 2, {(2 dc, ch 2) in next ch sp} 27 times, 2dc in the last ch3 sp(V st), dc in the top of the ch2 from row 2; turn. (118 dc sts)
Edging Row 4: sl st in 2nd dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc, (ch 2, sl st in next dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc) 28 times, ch 3, sl st in next dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc, (ch 2, sl st in next dc, ch 3, sl st in next dc) 28 times, sl st in the top of ch2 from row 3; break yarn and finish off. (59 ch-3 loops)
Lori Paddock
I had a with edging row 3. I’ve redone it three times and I cannot get 56 repeats on a single side. Since 28 is half, I was wondering if 56 was supposed to be for the entire edging. That makes sense to me because edging row 2 has 57 V sts.
Tamara Kelly
Yes, I’m sorry, this is a typo. I’ll be correcting it this week, and creating a video tutorial as well. 🙂
Lori Paddock
Thanks so much for sharing this pattern! I finished this yesterday while in the hotel. We’re moving and once I get settled and can wash and block it, I will upload a pic on Ravelry. I really admire your talent!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you Lori!
Carole-Jayne
For a couple of years now I have been ‘saving’ this gorgeous baby alpaca sport weight yarn – in ginger!!!! which apparently I am told (by people who love me) that this is MY colour. It was so gorgeous I was afriad to ‘waste’ it and actually make something out of it.
Your pattern came to me today, and now the yarn is now sitting on my lap smiling at me. I now know why I couldn’t use it before – it was waiting just for you! it is perfect!!!! and I am so very happy. I simply can’t remember when I last made something for myself.
1 very happy Canadian camper. THANK YOU.
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Carole-Jayne! I’m so glad to hear it!
Chantal
This shawlette is so beautifull… I’m a beginner in crochetting and feel more confident with a ” diagramme” of a pattern thénar with only the explanation as m’y english is ont very good. I soûls like to know if you will make one diagramme like the one you shared with the artfully scarf (i am about to finish this one.) it will so helpfull if you could…
Thanks for sharing! Just love it!
Tamara Kelly
I’m afraid this one would be very difficult to diagram, but I am planning a video tutorial.
adlina
It is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you! 🙂
Myrna
Thank you for the pattern and links. I ordered several colors (goddess is absolutely stunning) of this yarn from Knit Picks. Have fun at the Knit and Crochet show!

Terri
I totally love this pattern, but I cannot figure out the edging at all. I’ve made my out of cotton, because it seemed more summery than acrylic. I’ve finished up the pattern, and it looks nothing like this, but it’s still pretty. I’m completely stuck on the edging row 1 where it says sc 2 stitches in block. Mine doesn’t really have blocks. Should I be putting 2 single crochet stitches in each space around?
Tamara Kelly
Hi Terri! It will open up with blocking. 🙂 The little sets of “ch 3, dc, ch 1, dc” each make a block, or small square. So basically you work 2 sc in each block, square, row, or space along the edge. They’re all the same thing, really. 🙂
Annie V
Question regarding row 1 of the edging. It says to work into the ‘blocks’. What space is considered the ‘block’? From the corner going left along my edge it looks like there are 2 horizontal bars of stitches, an open space, a vertical bar of stitches, a 2nd open space, a second vertical bar of stitches, a 3rd open space, then 2 horizontal bars of stitches. It continues that way along the edge. Are the ‘blocks’ every open space??
Tamara Kelly
Hi Annie! Each set of ch 3, dc, ch 1, dc is a block. So as you work along the side, you can alternate between working 2 sc between the 2 dc, and around the ch at the bottom of one block, and around the second dc of the next block. Does that make sense? I hope to get the video made very soon.
Patty rae
Plz notify me when video is available. Thanx
Tamara Kelly
I can’t send out individual emails, but I will certainly be sharing the link on social media and in the weekly newsletter! 🙂
Elizabeth Rhodes
Hi, thanks for this gorgeous pattern. I can see how the Blocking will be helpful when finished.
For the first couple of rows it was bunching up until I watched the Video and realized what the chain 3 space was.
That was extremely helpful!
I’m just wondering about these instructions: {(slip st, ch 3, ch 1 dc) in next ch-3 sp of previous row} 3 times; turn
Do you do the slip stitch twice or only first at the beginning of the stitches?
and also do you chain 3 three times?
Thanks, Elizabeth
Tamara Kelly
Hi Elizabeth! You slip stitch into that ch 3 space like in the video, then ch 3, dc, ch 1, dc in the same ch 3, then that brings you to the next edge where you can sl st in the ch 3 space, and start a new block. Does that help?
Elizabeth Rhodes
Thanks! I’m not sure what you mean by the “next edge?” So are you starting a new black in a separate chain 3 space or in the same chain 3 space as when you first do the first (slip st, ch3, dc, ch 1, dc)?
Tamara Kelly
Each ch 3 sp will have a new block built up from it on the next row. The video will make it all very clear, I think, as soon as I can get it made. I’m hoping to debut it next week! 🙂
Elizabeth
Thanks! I’m not sure what you mean by “the next edge?” Are you using the same ch 3 space or is each new block going into the next ch3 sp?? So if you are doing the following 3 times (slip st, ch 3, dc,
ch 1, dc) each is going into a new ch-3 space or are all 3 going into only one ch-3 space? Thanks so much!!
Tamara Kelly
Ah, ok! Sorry, it’s always going into a new one. Presuming you are right handed, when you make a set of “ch 3, dc, ch 2, dc” it will bring you up to the edge of another block in the previous row. You sl st into that new block and start again to make a new block. As you’re working the top edge of the piece should have a sort of sawtooth or zigzag edge.
Terri
This is beautiful! I ordered the exact yarn and also a blue. Hope to make one for myself and a friend. About half way done with mine. Started it first so will have had good practice for the gifting one. Easy. Quick. And very pretty! It does look very small right now. Hoping my blocking skills are good enough to end up like yours. Thank you for the pattern! 🙂
Tamara Kelly
😀 You’re very welcome! Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
Patty rae
Well mine turned out awful. I thought I knew how to crochet & follow a pattern, but I’m waaay too stupid to follow this.
Tamara Kelly
Oh no Patty! I’m so sorry you didn’t have good luck with it. Perhaps the video will clear things up.

Patty, If you’re smart enough to write an email, you’re smart enough to follow a pattern. It took me a million tries to follow a pattern. Please don’t think you’re stupid. It just takes practice.
Tamara Kelly
This is very true! <3
Terri
Can I ask a question more about the yarn than the pattern. I have never used yarn that came as a “hank” (?) like this. I did not roll it into a ball before I started and I ran really short for the pattern. My question is…if I had rolled it into a ball, would it have stretched the yarn to the point that I might have had enough? Does that make a difference?
I appreciate any advice. LOVE this pattern!
Tamara Kelly
Hi Terri! The main reason to roll the yarn into a ball or cake is so that it doesn’t tangle as you use it – I’m impressed you were able to do so, when I’ve tried I end up with a big mess! I’m sorry you ran so short, I had a bit left over, so I’m wondering if it might have been a gauge issue?
Cyndi Hylton
Hi Tamara,
Thank you very much for sharing what will probably be a beautiful shawl pattern (once I figure out what I’m doing wrong). I can’t figure out where to go once I’ve completed the 3rd square. Are you planning to share a chart for this pattern? Because that’s where I usually turn to figure out where I’ve gotten lost while crocheting a new pattern. I have viewed the video link which you have thoughtfully provided; however, the woman crocheting that form of the pattern only chains 3 after the first two boxes. I have made that pattern numerous times and what is pictured above isn’t that. Can you please have patience with me and tell me where I have gone wrong?
Tamara Kelly
Hi Cyndi! I do plan on making a video, and hopefully a chart, this week. 🙂
rosario
me encanto su trabajo pero se me complica un poco leer los patrones en ingles prefiero el graico o un video gracias por compartir su trabajo
Tamara Kelly
Video coming soon! 🙂
Maria
Absolutely beautiful. I love shawls and wear them more than often. Loved the color and the pattern. Just finished stacking up on various yarns from Knit Pick! Beautiful yarns, never bought from them before. Happy they ship to P.R. Now waiting for their arrival to start the shawl. Hoping it turns out like yours! Saying hello from San Juan Puerto Rico ??
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Maria! I hope you enjoy them!
Glory
wow! I love this pattern!! this might make a good blanket!!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you! 😀
SArah
When you did the blocking (I’ve never blocked out project before) did you just stretch and pin the outside edges of the shawl? Or did you also have to place pin in each “square” to help the shape? It’s an absolutely beautiful piece that I want to do, I just want to ensure I can make it just as pretty as yours is when I’m done.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Sarah, thank you! I just pinned the edges. 🙂
Pat reiersen
Hi Tamara,
I have finished the body of this shawl and am ready for the border. I hope you include the border in your video because I am having trouble identifying the “block” where the 2 sc should go in row 1. My stitches are a lot rougher than yours and that’s probably the problem. I think it will look much better when I block it. By the way, I used yarnsub.com to see if I had something in my stash for this and it worked great I had some Valley Yarns fingering in the color North Sea. It looks lovely. Again, the blocking will tell the story. I’ll post a pic if it turns out well. Thanks for all you do. I’ve learned so much from you.
Tamara Kelly
Thanks Pat! There was a miscount in the border, so that’s fixed, and the video *should* debut this week, fingers crossed. Blocking does make a world of difference with this one! Yarnsub is a great site!
Pat Reiersen
Well, I finished it and it’s beautiful. But I don’t know how to send a pic. Actually I have before and after blocking. What a difference for anyone wondering if it’s worth it.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Pat! Unfortunately I don’t have a way for people to send in pictures directly to the blog. But you can post them on the Moogly Facebook page! 🙂
Terri
Please notify me when a video showing the edging is uploaded. It’s a beautiful shawl, although the pattern isn’t as distinct with the heavier cotton thread I used. I ended up making my own border for my first shawl. I want to figure out the more intricate one shown here before I make it for a gift.
Thanks,
Terri
Tamara Kelly
I cannot send out individual emails, but it should go up on the site tomorrow morning (barring technical snafus) and will be linked in the weekly newsletter! 🙂
Elizabeth T.
Either I’ve become an incredibly loose crocheter or I’m taking the gauge incorrectly. Gauge: 6 boxes in a row = 4″—that’s measured horizontally, right? Because at best, I’m getting 5 boxes to 4″ on an I hook, and I’m worried that if I go down to H or G, the fabric will be so dense that it won’t open up when blocked.
Tamara Kelly
I’m sorry Elizabeth, I should have been more clear – measure along one smooth edge, along the outside of the shawl. One of the \/ sides. I’ll make a note of it in the pattern!
Elizabeth T.
Okay, that’s working *much* better. In fact, I’m getting gauge with a J hook, just as the pattern specifies. Thank you!
cindy
Please email if you can when video is ready.. New to crochet and would love to make this
Tamara Kelly
I can’t send out individual emails, but it should be up tonight or tomorrow… just a little more editing to do!
JANE
I love this pattern! I have some beautiful hand-dyed dk yarn-about 100 grams. Do you think it might work for this pattern? I was thinking that since the yarn is bigger I might get the same size shawlette without as much yardage as the fingering yarn that you used.
Bethany
I got five hanks of this exact yarn as a gift, and have been struggling to find a use for them, since each one is a different color. I love your finished shawl, and I’m about 6 rows into mine now. I’m trusting you now that it’ll look better when blocked, cause right now mine just looks messy, haha.
Donna Marie
I cannot see the blocks on the first row of edging. I am thinking it is 2 sc per block. Still confused.
Tamara Kelly
Ok, if you look along the edge, you’ll see a dc, then ch 3, then dc, then ch 3, etc. Each of these is the edge of one block. Does that help?
Donna Marie
That makes sense, however one side turning does not look that way. In other words one row is as you say but the turn-around row is not like that.
Tamara Kelly
I’m sorry, the other is the ch sp between the dc sts.
Donna Marie
Tamara, You are most gracious in your reply’s but I just cannot see what you are explaining. I am so upset with myself that I cannot see this. I have been crocheting for 42 years. How will we know when you post a video and when you do will you really explain this part?
Tamara Kelly
It’s linked in the pattern above! 🙂
Donna Marie
I went to You Tube just to look and there it was. Thank you.
Lee Ann
Tamara, what a beautiful shawl pattern! Thank you very much for sharing!!! :). 🙂

This is a stunning pattern. Thanks for sharing.
I just finished making one in the same colour as your.
Enjoyed making it.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much ruchi, I’m glad to hear it!
Susan
I have some lovely silk, worsted weight yarn that I want to make this pattern in. Will that work? and What size hook would you recommend? I know it may change the size but it shouldn’t use more yarn than fingering, correct??
Tamara Kelly
I’d use a size or two bigger than whatever hook is recommended on the label. It may take more yarn.
Laura C
I made one, it came out beautiful. Used a worsted weight. It is presently submitted in the local county fair!
Thank you for the pattern, just started one with a little lighter yarn, bigger hook., N.
I’m sure it will be a beauty!
Thanks
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Laura! Good luck at the fair!
Carmen
I’m wondering is there anything to say approximately how much yarn I need left to make the edging? I’m making it in malabrigo sock, which is about 439 yards/skein…I want it to be a little bit bigger if I can manage it, it’s for my wedding. Only have one skein of the colorway though so not sure how much further I may be able to stretch it. They didn’t have more at the shop and sadly I can’t afford to order online…plus I hate the risk of the colors being different with it.
Tamara Kelly
I’m afraid I didn’t measure out how much was needed for just the edging. My best recommendation would be to look at the finished projects on Ravelry, for someone who used a different yarn for the edging, and see if they list the yardage for that yarn.
Lorna
Thankyou Tamara.
I have made the Moogly shawl in some gorgeous Scottish yarn (merino/silk/yak mix) dyed by my friend Helen at Ripples Crafts. It is blocking now but I love it and I will be gifting it to a friend in need. Thanks for your generosity to make the pattern free and your time to make videos which I found very helpful as I’m a bit of a beginner at crochet.

Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Lorna! I’m so glad you liked it. That yarn sounds amazing!
Elisabetta
hello, this beautiful patter thanks
I’m trying to do with the wool but is very compact and not decorated like your
Could you help me?
These are the specifications of the wool
Name: Magic Jawoll Dégradé
Brand: Lang Yarns
Weight: Fingering / 4 ply (14 wpi)?
Wraps per inch
Meterage: 437 yards (400 meters)
Unit weight: 100 grams (3.53 ounces)
Gauge: 28.0 to 32.0 sts = 4 inches
Needle size: US 1½ – 4 or 2.5 – 3.5mm
Fibers: 75% Wool
25% Nylon (Polyamide)
I am using needle size: 3.5mm
Thank you very much
Elizabeth
Tamara Kelly
Hello Elisabetta! This pattern calls for fingering weight yarn much like what you’re using, so that’s fine, but it also calls for a 6mm hook, which is significantly larger than a 3.5mm hook. So using the 3.5mm hook will create a much more compact fabric. Even with the 6mm hook, it doesn’t open up to the full lace look until you block it.
Bethany
I think I’ve done something wrong towards the end with mine. It was a triangle and it was fine, and then suddenly it started getting wider faster than it was getting taller. I didn’t think anything of it, but then when I started doing the edging, I realized that instead of the nice blocks that I have further down towards the point, my three dcs in the chains are at the edge, so I’ve got nowhere to put the two scs! Basically, instead of having nice |___|_|___|___, I’ve got |___|_|_|_|_|___|….does that makes sense? Maybe I’ll just pull out the edging and a bunch of rows and see if redoing it fixes the problem…
Tamara Kelly
Hi Bethany! You can put the 2 sc between the dc sts on one row, then around the dc in the next row. I’m not sure why it’s getting wider though… Hm. Have you checked the video and charts? https://www.mooglyblog.com/fortunes-shawlette-tutorial/
Claudia
Hi Tamara,
beautiful shawlette. Thank you for the pattern. Always glad to find pretty crochet patterns since I prefer that to knitting.
I have a question about the yarn used. A couple of reviewers said the yarn was scratchy feeling. How did you find the yarn?
Thanks again.
Claudia
Tamara Kelly
I didn’t find it to be scratchy, but it does contain wool, and some people are more sensitive to that than others. Yarnsub.com is a great resource for options!
Fuego Azul
I just received my hank of Hawthorne Kettle Dyed in Blackbird for this shawl. It’s wound into a skein & patiently waiting for my day off when I can start this beautiful pattern!
JUDITH
This is so much easier to do now that i have mastered c2c rug
There are good tuts on video just google c2c!
Tamara Kelly
There is one specifically for this pattern as well. 🙂
CAROLEE
Hi Tamara, looking forward to trying another of your amazing patterns!! Tried going through comments to find answer to my question but there are far too many. My apologies if it’s been asked…
May you please confirm for me hook size? I bought a super fine (#1) yarn for this pattern. Seems even thinner than my fingering yarn. Your pattern calls for 6mm hook. That seems huge and my stitches are looking very sloppy! Is this correct? Please confirm.
Thx again for all of your amazing patterns!
Tamara Kelly
Hi Carolee! That is the size hook I used, but everyone has a different tension, so you’ll want to check your gauge and adjust if necessary. 🙂 Thank you!
Fuego Azul
About how many more rows can you add with the Hawthorne yarn to make a larger shawl without running out?
Annissa Chheng
This pattern is lovely so I am willing my chubby fingers to work correctly with the super fine yarn 🙂
Tamara Kelly
🙂 Thank you Annissa!
nadia saleh
Lovely pattern! I gave it several tries and failed miserably :(:(
Could you explain to whre to find the ch3 I I previous row? And do i need to turn the work? Please help!!!
Tamara Kelly
Hello Nadia! Did you watch the video tutorial that’s linked at the top of the pattern, below the hook and yarn?
Connie L
Hi Tamara. I am in love with this pattern. I keep staring at it and I finally have the perfect person to make it for. I just have a question. I don’t have fingering yarn, I would like to use the Caron simply soft medium weight. Do you think it will turn out the same or look chunky. And which hook size would you recommend? Thank you so much, for great patterns and an open heart to share.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Connie! Thank you! It will certainly be thicker/warmer, but of course that’s not necessarily a bad thing! 🙂 I would bump up to a size M/N hook to get the same lacey look, or maybe just to a K to get a less lacy look. 🙂 You may wish to steam block it when it is done to open up the lace and keep it open.
Jess Gregg
Stunning? Is not even the word for this!! Cannot wait to try it, got my yarn all picked out, hoping I can come close to replicating. Thank you for the free pattern. It’s nice when you come across something that you know could be sold by the pattern and the designer could make some fun money from it but yet they choose to share the gift of their creativity to others. I’m making this shawl for my grandmother who recently had to move into assisted living and this has her name all over it. I can’t work due to a disabling illness so money is tight to say the least so I’m happy I can use your free pattern to help comfort grandma with this beautiful shawl. Thank you for your talents!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Jess! ♥
Olga
You have done it again. I have some beautiful bamboo yarn I have been holding on to for the perfect project. I think I found it!!
Thank you!!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Olga!
Rebecca
Hi Tamara. Thank you so much for this beautiful pattern. I am making this for my mother in law. I am a bit stuck with edging row 1. Just wondering where to put my 2 scs along the longest side (ss,ch1,sc,ch1,doc)?
I can’t watch the video due to my crappy rural internet service. If you can explain it to me I’d be very grateful. Thank you for your time x
Rebecca
Hi again. It occurs to me that the edging might be just for the two shorter sides. Is that correct? Thanks again.
Tamara Kelly
Yes! You’ve got it – it’s just the two shorter sides, not across the top. 🙂
Jessica
To get this exact look does the product need to be blocked? Or will the weight open the stitches?
Tamara Kelly
I would say it needs to be blocked.
Shahad
Hi, the momnet i saw the shawl i knew i had to make it it’s absolutely gorgeous.
But i have a question, would it make any difference if i used cotton thread to make it?
Thank you ❤️?
Tamara Kelly
Thank you! I think it would be lovely in thread! 😀
Shahad
Really?! well thank you! 🙂
Tamara Kelly
Light and lacy, I bet! 😀
Sherry Bohrmueller
Love this shawl, do you have to block it? I don’t have anywhere to pin it too that’s big enough.
Tamara Kelly
It is somewhat important to open up the lace pattern. You could lay it out on bath towels on your bed!
KAREN
unsubscribe me
Tamara Kelly
Hi Karen! Can you please let me know what you want to be unsubscribed from? Anything I email should have an unsubscribe link at the bottom – that’s the quickest way to unsubscribe from something, as otherwise I have to guess at what you are referring to.
Cathy
Hi, I am following the instructions and my shawlette is not lacy, what am I doing wrong?
Tamara Kelly
The open look comes after blocking – that’s what “opens up” the stitch pattern. 🙂
Cheryl Ann Wolfe
Thank you Tamara, you’ve created some absolutely gorgeous shaws, And so far I can FOLLOW them toooo???
And Thank You for sharing them all with us FREE!!
GOD BLESS YOU TAMARA ❤❤❤❤
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Cheryl!! <3
Kathy
Hello. I left you a message on Ravelry. Here was the message:
Hello. Thank you for this pattern, it’s a lovely stitch. I’m having trouble with Edging Row 2. When I come to the end of the first side, I have three stitches left, not one (before the point). I have 82 stitches per side plus 1 at the point from Edging Row 1, so my stitch count is right. I can’t figure out where I went wrong. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. Thanks.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Kathy! Sorry, I miss messages sometimes. And thank you!
Ok, so I’m not sure what went wrong, but now my own math is fighting with me. :/ I would recommend that when you get to 3 sts remaining, you skip 1, V st in the next skip 1, then make the corner. Then, mirror that working up the other side. I’m sorry about the confusion!
Kathy
Thank you for responding. I’m just getting back to this now. I did as you said and it worked out fine, Thanks for the suggestion. I had even written this all down on paper and just could not make it work. Maybe I’m just too literal! Now I just have to block it and I’m done. Thank you!
Kathy
Tamara Kelly
I’m so glad to hear it! Thank you Kathy!
Mojca
Hi,
I think the number of scs should be multiples of 7 to work this out. I’ve had 98 stitches (+1) down the side and I could do just like the pattern says . When I was doing my second shawlette,, I did one row of the body less and ended up with 96 stitches (+1). And I couldn’t follow the pattern either. The written pattern and video has 14 stitches (+1) so that makes sense,, doesn’t it?
Hope it helps….
Mojca
Mandy
I bet this would look fantastic in a gossamer type yarn, like a fingerling weight acrylic mohair in a soft creamy pink. Thank you for the fantastic pattern. I can’t wait to get the yarn and start crocheting.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Mandy!
Neema
Thank you for this pattern (and everything else on your blog!!), Tamara!
I’d been eyeing this for a while, but last month I got the motivation to start this – as a birthday present for my younger sister. I had the perfect color of Caron simply soft. I used a K hook and the result was gorgeous. I’ve added it to my ravelry projects, I’d love for you to check it out.
Also, and you might not remember this, I promised you pictures of the “summer breeze” sweater that I made, I just uploaded those to Ravelry as well.
Thank you for all you do, all the very best to you!
Tamara Kelly
Hi Neema! Thank you so much! I’ll go check them out! 🙂
Irene McLaughlin
This looks so beautiful I must try it. Only thing is I don’t know what ‘fingring’ weight is. I live in Scotland, can you help? Thank you.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much! Fingering is about 4 ply. 🙂
Irene mclaughlin
Many thanks, looking forward ti trying it.
Linda Lang
Hi Tamara, first, thank you for all of your wonderful free patterns and your blog! I’m having trouble with row 1 of the edging on Fortunes Shawlette. I can’t tell which spaces are blocks. I have watched the video and studied the diagram, and read through all of the previous posts. Can you please explain how to distinguish which spaces are the blocks? Thank you.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Linda! Each block is a “chunk” of the [ch 3, dc, ch 2, dc]. So when you are working along the edges, you’ll come to either a chain 3 or a dc working as the edge of each block. Does that help? It’s pretty much like working along the sides of rows.
anita
Hi Tamara, I fell in love with the pattern and got started with it….but soon realized that I was out of yarn ( purchased the same one that you used). I am short of yarn for the very last row! Checked their website, and this color will not be available till May. Do you think if I skip the last row, the shawl will look unfinished? Any suggestions to make it look ‘complete’? Also, what wool wash do you use when you block? Thanks!
Tamara Kelly
Oh no! I’d just skip the last row – I think it’ll be fine! I might skip the last regular row and use that yarn to make the edging, if it’s a matter of skipping a row or the edging row – then it will still look “finished.” I like Unicorn Fibre’s rinses and washes! 🙂
anita
Thanks Tamara, I am planning to try as you suggested! Can’t wait to finish it….this is my first time blocking a project, so am excited and nervous at the same time! Keep those amazing project coming our way……
Tamara Kelly
😀 Will do, thank you so much Anita!
June
Hi Tamara!
Thanks so much for the lovely pattern! I hope you don’t mind that I wrote up a quick post about my experience working through your pattern on my blog — I’ve linked it back to this page, but I just thought I’d let you know! I love how it turned out 🙂
(https://ticktockhobbies.com/2017/05/30/62-triangle-lace-shawl/)
Mary-Jane
I love your fortune shawlette and have made many! I was wondering if there was a way to use that particular stitch to make a blanket ie a square rather than the triangle
Tamara Kelly
Hi Mary-Jane! Yes, you can use this pattern to make a rectangle: https://www.mooglyblog.com/fortunes-wrap/
Shirley
Just saw this scarf and would love to make.it. In reading thru the posts I noticed there were some modifications to the original pattern. Was the original pattern updated with the modifications?
Tamara Kelly
When upsizing it throws the border off, but so far over 1000 projects have been made without issues. 🙂
Sue Levy
Thanks so much for this free pattern. I will be using it to make shawlettes for my local Red Cross charity shop, which will help refugees and disadvantaged people here in Luxembourg. Yes, even the world’s wealthiest countries have people in need! Best wishes, Sue
Tamara Kelly
♥ Thank you so much Sue, on both counts.
Lyn
Thank you so much for posting this free pattern and doing a video of it as I learned to crochet last year and found that I am a visual learner. I love this pattern and have made 3 in a month.
Tamara Kelly
♥ That’s fantastic Lyn, thank you!
Nancy McQuade
Perhaps in the long list of comments/questions my question has been asked but I will ask it again. How can I make the shawl bigger?
Nancy McQuade
SIGH….Got it – just add more rows.
Tamara Kelly
🙂 That’s usually the answer! 😉
Liz Gelbmann
Hi Tamara,
I love this shawl. I watched the video and think I am doing it correctly. But the first block in each row (the one made with 6 chains) looks a little wonky — not exactly like the others., more elongated. Will that fix itself with blocking or am I doing something wrong.
Tamara Kelly
Hi Liz! I’m sorry I’m not sure what would cause that – maybe try making tighter chains?
Liz Gelbmann
Thanks! Tighter chains helps.
Also I just finished Alpaca Your Wrap, and I love it.
Tamara Kelly
Oh good! 😀 And thank you!
Mary Camley
Just wanted to say how much I love this pattern! I’ve made several, even using different yarn weights and hooks for each, and they’ve all come out gorgeous. I love making shawls, and this is most definitely one of my favorite patterns!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Mary, I’m so glad to hear it! 😀 That made my day!
Ncole Monique Watkins
Hell
OMG!!!! I love this and I was wondering if you can use any Cat#1 yarn to make this amazing Shawlette? Thanks so much and as always ty for sharing your creation with us.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much! The more similar the yarn the better, but there are lots of substitutions that will work. 🙂
Lynne
Just finished. Looks lovely. Thank you 🙂
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much, I’m so glad you like it!
Laurel Robbins
This shawl is just lovely – thank you so much for sharing the pattern!

Thank you so much Laurel, I’m so glad you like it!
MAIS
hello Tamara, I have previously tried one of your patterns, the Alpaca your rap and it was a pleasure to make and wear, thank you for it. now i love this one and would like to make it, my yarn is 4 ply, 75% wool, 25% viscose, do you think it will be suitable for this pattern?
Tamara Kelly
Hi Mais, and thank you! The fun thing about this pattern is that people have been using all sorts of different yarns and yarn weights with it and while they are all different, they all look great! 😀
Mrs Melissa A Nicolet
Absolutely loving this! Builds quickly and can do it without looking 😘 a winning pattern! Thank you so much.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! 🙂
Kerry R
Hi Tamara, I have had your pattern in my to do list for some time. I have purchased the new Lion brand Shawl in a ball in the colourHealing Teal, and did a practice tension swatch. I have substituted a 5.5mm crochet hook, as I am using a cotton blend yarn, and I am happy with the drape. Will add a pic to Pinterest when I have finished the shawl. Thanks for the instructional video. 🙂
Tamara Kelly
Oh that’s a pretty colorway! ♥ Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy making it!
Kim W
I love the way this shawl looks. Can I use a #2 fine yarn for it?
Tamara Kelly
Thank you, and yes! This pattern really works beatifully with about any yarn weight – just add (or less) rows to get the size you like! 🙂
Kim W
Thanks. Working on this right now. I love how it’s coming together. 😊😊
Nikki
I truly underestimated how quick and easy this pattern is! Super creative way to incorporate C2C type of crochet stitch and was a great way to use 1 skein of specialty yarn I didn’t have a set pattern for. It was a little hard keeping tension at the very beginning but once complete and blocked it looks great. Thank you for another great pattern!
Tamara Kelly
Hi Nikki! Thank you so much!
Wendy Ennis
What a wonderful pattern – thanks so much for the video tutorial, as it always helps me understand the written words of a pattern, and I REALLY APPRECIATE that you provided the charts, as I’m a chart person. . . charts “show me” what the written instructions mean.
I’m loving the shawlettes, as they are light weight and such a great accessory in lieu of necklaces!
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much Wendy! I’m so glad to hear it! ♥
Jessie
I am almost finished with theshawl. I absolutely love it. I am using lion brand shawl in a ball, lotus blossom.
Tamara Kelly
Thank you so much, Jessie!
