It’s time for a Mini Crochet Along here on Moogly! This time around, it’s the Amelia Shawl!
The Amelia Shawl is a one skein shawl made with Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball and a US-J, 6.00 mm hook! You can pick up a skein at your nearest big box craft store, or order directly from Lion Brand. There are 8 gorgeous colorways to choose from:
All the color changes happen right in the skein! I used Community Coral, but they are all so tempting! And with the Amelia Shawl there are only 4 ends to weave in when you’re done – love that!
The Amelia Shawl has a unique shape, with a straight back (no arrows pointing at your rear end!) and ends that swoop up and around to stay on your shoulders. It can be worn as a traditional shawl across the shoulders, or “backwards” as a scarf/cowl. Either way it looks fantastic!
The Spring Mini CAL for the Amelia Shawl works like this – you provide the yarn and hook and crochet time, and I provide the first half of the pattern on April 15th, and the second half of the pattern on April 22nd! Each part is less than 20 rows, so even if you’ve got lots of other projects going, you have time to make a gorgeous shawl.
So grab a skein of Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball, your J hook, and join the fun! I hope you enjoy it! CLICK HERE for the Amelia Shawl pattern!

I’m in!!!!
Tamara Kelly says
Yay! 😀 Thank you Marcia!
Shira says
I’ve never done a CAL, but I’m thinking about doing this one! 🙂 My stepmom’s birthday is in June, and I’m planning on crocheting a shawl for her, which I’ve never done before. She likes purple, so I’m thinking of the Mindful Mauve!
Tamara Kelly says
Ooo, that’s a pretty one! 😀
Shira says
Ok, ordered! 😀 Hooray for 2-day free shipping on Amazon, so I’ll be able to get started right away. Do you recommend winding it into a ball, or just working from it the way it is? I have a ball winder, but I’ve never worked with this type of yarn before and I don’t want to do bad things to it.
Clare says
Has anyone had any luck getting this in the UK? I can’t find anywhere stocking it and would love to join in with this CAL 🙂
Dawn says

Clare says
Thank you for sharing that! I’ve still had no luck finding it in the uk, so may just go with something from my stash 🙂
Chari says
I’m in!
Tamara Kelly says
Yay! 😀 Welcome!
Rebecca Harris says
I’m in, but have to use stash yarn, I have 5 skeins of Lion Brand Amazing yarn. Do you think that will ba a good substitute?
Karla says
So all the directions will arrive in email then??? and yo have t sign up fo the newsletter to be involved? I want to do this and not miss out! Shawl in a ball is awesome!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Karla! No, the pattern will be right here on the blog – I’ll link to it in the newsletter and Facebook/Twitter/etc, but you don’t have to sign up for the newsletter or anything else! 🙂 Thank you!
Autumn says
GOOD TIMING! I was looking for something to start, but couldn’t really get with it. This is perfect!
Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thank you Autumn!
Diane Dicke says
I’m in!
Chelsea says
Just in time for Mother’s Day, too! What a great project!
Cat says
I’m totally in! I just wish I actually COULD find this at any local stores – Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, and Joann’s all come up empty. Might have to start a little late when the yarn actually arrives; I can’t wait!!!
Sheila says
Is there another yarn that you can recommend, my Michaels doesn’t carry it.
Tamara Kelly says
Any worsted weight yarn should work!
Jen F says
I’m excited! My first CAL and now yarn is on the way from Amazon. My local craft store doesn’t have this yarn yet… This will be the first project I’ve done for myself in a long time. Holiday, birthday, and baby shower gifts are done. Busting my yarn stash during Lent was great and created many prayer shawls, as well. Now I’m ready for something new!
Tamara Kelly says
Yay! Welcome aboard!
frances says

I just got a ball of this! Between that and the shawl sharing a name with one of our daughters, it’s a must-do. Excited!
Fern says

Catherine L. Meyer says
Count me in!
Irma land says
This is perfect. I ended up with some extra Shawl in a Ball and I can use it for this shawl.
Cille says
Would love to join in even if I am a day late.
Tamara Kelly says
There’s no schedule you have to follow, hopefully people will make this pattern for years to come! 😀
Carol says
i’m in, too. 🙂
Ann says
I really want to do this project; just will be starting a little late when the yarn arrives.
Rae huffman says
I have never done a CAL but am going to try this one. I am a little late starting because I could not find the Shawl in a Ball yarn. Finally, I have decided to try it with Red Heart Soft worsted 4.
Tamara Kelly says
I hope you enjoy it!
Deborah hamsho says
I love this pattern, but I don’t understand the instructions for the last row. Don’t turn, but work slip stitch? Along the bottom and side edges. That is a reverse slip stitch? How? I’m up to that last row. I appreciate your help.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Deborah! Are you referring to Edging Rnd 2? When you finish Edging Rnd 1, you should be at the top edge of the shawl, ready to crochet down along the side again. So you chain 2, skip the next st (the first st of the previous rnd), and sl st in the next st. Then ch 2, skip the next st, and sl st in the next st, repeating. Does that help?
Deborah says
Yes. Thanks so much. I love the shawl.
Tamara Kelly says
I’m so glad! Thank you!
