The Pixie Shawlette is a light and lively free crochet shawl pattern on Moogly that uses just one ball of Red Heart Croquette – and is full of sparkle!

A simple 10-row repeat is the featured stitch pattern in the Pixie Shawlette – it shows off the yarn so beautifully! I went with the neutral toned Stonehenge colorway, but Red Heart Croquette comes in a bunch of gorgeous colors to choose from, each of which will give a different look. And with just one skein per shawlette, you can try them all!

The Pixie Shawlette is a “shawlette” size, as you can see in the schematic below. I love this size for a light spring/summer accessory, and the fingering weight yarn is perfect for this too – plus it kept it as a one skein pattern! But if you prefer a bigger shawl, that’s no problem at all – just see the Notes below and pick up an extra ball or two of Red Heart Croquette!

CSDC/dc2tog – Make a CSDC in the first st but stop with 2 loops left on the hook, insert hook in next st, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops, yo and pull through all remaining loops on hook.

NOTES:

This pattern can be made as large as desired by adding more 10-row repeats (Rows 4-13). This will require additional yarn, and the stitch count will always be the number of the row +2.

If you prefer not to use the CSDC stitch, you can substitute a ch 3 or whatever dc substitute you prefer.
