    Pixie Shawlette

    Published: Mar 15, 2019 · Modified: Nov 1, 2022 by Tamara Kelly · 30 Comments

    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!

    Pixie Shawlette modeled - free pattern on MooglyDisclaimer: This post includes affiliate links; materials provided by Red Heart and Brittany Hooks.

    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!

    Crochet Abbreviations

    Magic Circle

    CSDC - Chainless Starting Double Crochet

    Dc2tog - Double Crochet Two Together decrease

    Special Stitch:

    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.

    This pattern begins with a magic circle, but do NOT close the magic circle after Row 1 - insert 1 or 2 stitch markers to hold it open to be worked into for the edging.

      I have a skein of yar that needs to be made into this pixie shawlette! It has been sitting quietly, but popped into my head as I read this post. Thank you. I'm out of town but will tell my yarn as soon as I return! LOL

        Hi Tamara, i would ask you about "the stitch count will always be the number of the row +2." What is that mean? Sorry my english not too good. Do you mind explain it to me please. Thank you

          Hi Erika! What this means is that if it's Row 5, the stitch count for that row will be 7 - 5+2=7. If it's Row 52, the stitch count for that row will be 54 - 52+2=54. Does that help?

      Is there a video that shows how to make this? It's so pretty! I'm going to make on for my niece. Where did you find the pin? It's really pretty too.

      Love this Shawlette! Got the yarn but have a couple questions. Because of hand mobility I choose to use the Ch3 start, rather then the CSDC. If I start with CH3, how to I do the dc2tog. I tried doing the dc2tog on the
      2nd and 3rd stitches but that doesn't work. Your help is appreciated, Beverly in OHIO

        Hi Beverly! In this case, I recommend doing a ch 2 and then dc in the second stitch (skip the first st). Just count the top of that dc as the top of the dc2tog. 🙂

      Thank you for sharing your pattern. <3

      I found a little typo in your post which could confuse others as it did me. You write as follows: 1 ball Red Heart Croquette (1 – Super Fine/UK: 4 ply; 239 yds/291 m; 1.5 oz/45 g).

      It should be 219 m instead of 291 - right?

      This yarn for this pattern doesn't have to be a 1 weight only? Can 3 be used as well

        You can really use whatever weight you like, with the applicable hook, it will just change the size!

      Hi,
      I am getting ready to make this beautiful shawlette and I wanted to confirm you used a 4mm hook. The suggested size for the Croquette yarn is 2.25mm. I want to know if I need to buy another hook! I just started crocheting so I am still building my tool kit. Thanks!!

        Hi Annette! That shawl pin was a gift from a friend, so I'm afraid I don't have the artists info. I do know it was made with vintage silverware!

      Is the fact that there is no row 12 on the instructions significant?

        There is a row 12! 🙂 It reads: "Row 12: Repeat Row 10."
