If It Were Spring Every Day Shawl

Springtime in Australia. Pink Trumpet trees bursting into bloom, bringing with them the hope of prosperity. Jacaranda trees with purple blossoms dancing on their limbs, whisper of wisdom, rebirth, wealth and good luck. It is said that if a Jacaranda flower drops on your head, then it means good fortune.

The birds are happy that spring is here, and so am I!

I am so lucky to live surrounded by gorgeous landscapes of hills and rainforest and Spring in Australia is extra special. Each day I take the CEO of Auburncraft Crochet Design on a wander through the rainforest. And while I say, I take, The reality is more like an enforced walk. Stella (CEO) can be rather, let’s just say, pushy, if she does not get her walkies!

With Spring in mind, my latest design features filet flowers, with a filet border at each end of the shawl. I had some lovely Hobbii Sultan Deluxe Shine in my stash that was so perfect for this design and Spring, that it just had to be used.

This design can be worked from just one cake for a shorter length wrap, or 1 1/4 cakes for that extra length.

Crochet terminology: Both US and UK.

This is a written pattern with photos and graphs.

The pattern uses basic filet crochet technique.
