Design
The Eleanor triangle shawl is made up of shell stitches and mesh stitches which then gives this unique crochet shawl pattern, this is a very open design so with that in mind it would be perfect for the Summer months as you can drape across your shoulders without getting too hot underneath, this would also be great for the Summer evenings when the sun has gone down just put over your shoulders to warm you up a bit.

This is a very quick shawl project as it is mainly made up of chain stitches and sc stitches to make the mesh look and then down the middle of the shawl it looks a bit like the spine of the shawl i used shell stitches which are made up of dc stitches so it is very basic stitches to create something so wonderful.
I would say this a beginner plus crochet shawl pattern as you do need to pay attention where you are putting your sc stitches for the mesh, there was a couple of times i jumped over some loops so i had to frog it which is highly annoying when you get so far with it but i still really enjoyed the process of this pattern.
Yarn:
For this shawl pattern i used Cascade 220 which has an AMAZING amount of different shades which i absolutely love when choosing yarn for projects. It is made with 100% highland Peruvian wool and is perfect for shawl projects as it blocks so nicely as it really opens up the stitch definition and that is exactly what you want when blocking a shawl.
This yarn is classed as more of a high end yarn but when you are making a shawl that you want to last for years then you should go for a yarn that will stand the test of time and i really feel this yarn is perfect for that. You will need 660 yards for your shawl.
- 100 grams

Yarn Substitutions:
You can easily substitute the yarn i used for a more of an affordable yarn or one that is machine washable. Just remember acrylic yarn doesn’t wet block as well as wool but you could always carefully steam block your shawl.

Notes:
If you decided to carry on to make the shawl even larger you just need to make sure you have an odd number of ch5 loops so give them a count before you do your last row, otherwise the last row won’t work out for you!
Last Row. Ch2, Work 5dc in very first dc, 1sc in next ch1 sp * 1sc in next ch5 loop, work 7dc in next ch5 loop * Repeat down the first side of the shawl until last ch5 loop, 1sc in last ch5 loop, 1sc in middle dc of 3dc group from previous row, work 11dc in ch2 sp
Skip next dc, 1sc in next dc * 1sc in next ch5 loop, work 7dc in next ch5 loop * Repeat up the second side of the shawl until last ch5 loop, 1sc in last ch5 loop, 1sc in ch1 sp, work 5dc in very last dc
Fasten off, weave in ends. Move on to blocking.
Blocking:
When blocking my shawls i really like to stretch my shawls out, don’t be afraid to really pull those stitches and pin! It might seem scary at first but it really opens up all those lovely stitches that you worked hard on and really shows them off.
Soak finished shawl for 20 minutes in cool water and squeeze excess water out gently. Do not twist. Lay damp shawl on blocking boards and stretch to 67 inch wingspan x 33.5 inch height (or to your desired width and height) use blocking pins to hold in place. Let your shawl dry completely before unpinning.
