The Basic Stitches of a Crochet Shawl

For the entire shawl, you’ll need to know two basic crochet stitches, which is an excellent thing for those of us who LOVE quick & easy patterns! (Yep like I said before that’s me!)

The two stitches you’ll need to have an understanding of are the double crochet and the chain stitch both of which are easy to learn!

The Stitch Chart for a Granny Shawl

I created a free stitch chart for this pattern for those that may want one as a companion to the written design. Plus, sometimes just seeing the stitches written out helps to get the design completed.

This one shows the first four rows of the pattern, and if you scroll down you will find the details on the remaining rows! I hope this crochet stitch chart is useful for you!

The Yarn That’s Perfect for a Crochet Granny Shawl

For this crochet shawl, I used Touch of Alpaca Yarn from Lion Brand. It is a 90% acrylic yarn & 10% Alpaca fiber hence the name touch of alpaca! This yarn is warm, incredibly soft, and the best part is that it is hypoallergenic! 

Once you work this up, you will see just how amazing it is and how the fiber drapes beautifully! PS: Taupe is the first color listed and is what I used for this granny shawl!

PSST: If you’d like to make a lightweight shawl you can try the Summer Nights Shawl which is perfect for warmer weather and climates.

    I want to try this shawl, and have the scarfie yarn (#5 bulky) What hook would you recommend, a 7? Or larger? Thank you!

      Hi! I’d use a 6 or 6.5 mm hook with Scarfie. It is a thinner bulky #5, so you could get away with a smaller hook. 🙂

        Thank you. Just one more question….the last set of dcs in the row, do they go into the space between the chain and 2 dcs, or do you work them into the top of the 3rd chain? Thank you.

          Good morning!

          Ch 3’s count as a stitch in this design so you would work the last set into the top of the Ch 3.

          Happy Crocheting!

    This is such a great pattern. I just want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong. I’m going along following the pattern and it looks like one side is bigger than the other or has more stitches. Is it supposed to be like that or is it supposed to be symmetrical?

      Hi Aggie, It is supposed to be symmetrical. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! 🙂

    I am trying to make this but I am a little confused when you get to row 5. Am I suppose to do anything different than the video says? or just keep going along.
    I am using a cotton yarn and it is not coming out as nice as your but I am also a Advanced Beginner.
    Can you suggest another yarn that would drape like the Alpaca? I live in Florida so I was trying the cotton cakes since I wanted to use it for the springtime.

      Hi Jean, You just keep on going. 🙂 Mandala Ombre has a nice drape as well as Truboo from Lion Brand. 🙂

    I really love this shawl and cannot wait to make it. I am a advanced beginner but I am confused with -Row 5 addding a dc 3 times . I know you used Touch of Alpaca but what do you think about Caron cotton Cakes which is 60% cotton and 40 Acrylic. Will it flow like the Alpaca? I am in Florida so I want a light and airy yarn for the summer. thanks Jean

    • Krista Cagle

      I do not think the caron cakes will drape the same unfortunately. 24/7 cotton has a nice drape but you could always experiment with the first few rows with a couple different yarns to see what you like best. 🙂

      As for row five it means that you will have an additional six stitches per row. You are repeating row 4 but with the increasing of stitches each time an additional six stitches will be added per row.

      Hope this helps and happy crocheting!

    If you do not count the chains, the final stitch count(by your chart) is 5 for row 1, 11 for row 2, 17 for row 3…etc. I also don’t understand why you wouldn’t count the chains.

      September 2, 2019 at 4:52 pm

      Hi Erin,

      Chain 3’s at the beginning of every row count as a stitch (see the notes section) so they totals would add up as written.

    Hi there – I have just started following your pattern – thank you! I seem to have more stitches for each row than your pattern suggests so row 2 I had 14 stitches, row 3 I had 22 stitches, row 4 I have 32 stitches – can you please help – what am I doing wrong?? Thanks

      Hi Karen,
      Make sure not to count the chains as stitches when you are working your rows. If you have a picture I’d be glad to look at it too. You can share in our Facebook group where everyone is great with answering questions and helping out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/RescuedPawDesigns
