warlock triangle shawl
2. Introduction
Welcome to the enchanting world of crochet with our Warlock Triangle Shawl! This stunning accessory is not only a stylish addition to your wardrobe but also a versatile piece that can be draped around your shoulders for warmth during cool evenings or worn as a chic scarf. The finished shawl measures approximately 60 inches at the top edge and 30 inches in depth, making it the perfect size for both casual and elegant attire.
For this project, you will need a soft, lightweight yarn that drapes beautifully. We recommend using a DK-weight yarn in a color palette of deep midnight blue, rich charcoal gray, and a hint of shimmering silver. These adult-friendly colors come together to create a mystical effect reminiscent of nighttime skies. The Warlock Triangle Shawl is not only quick to make but is also a special piece that can be gifted for various occasions, whether it’s for birthdays, holidays, or just a token of appreciation. This pattern is designed with intermediate crocheters in mind, but we assure you, with a bit of patience and practice, adventurous beginners can tackle this beautiful shawl too!
3. Materials Needed
– Yarn: DK-weight yarn in midnight blue (300 yards), charcoal gray (200 yards), and shimmering silver (100 yards)
– Hook: 4.0mm crochet hook
– Marker: Stitch marker
– Needle: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
– Optional extras: Blocking mats and pins for finishing
4. Designer Notes / Tips
– Stitch technique: The shawl is made using a combination of double crochet and chain stitches to create an airy yet textured fabric. Don’t worry if you’re not very experienced; I’ve included thorough instructions for each stitch.
– Assembly: This shawl is worked in one piece, so there’s no need to join separate sections, making it a seamless and enjoyable project.
– Yarn substitutions: If you can’t find DK-weight yarn, a light worsted weight can work, but ensure you adjust your hook size accordingly to maintain the shawl’s drape.
– Gauge tips: For best results, check your gauge by crocheting a 4×4 inch square. You should aim for approximately 16 double crochets and 10 rows = 4 inches. This will ensure your shawl turns out the correct size.
– Blocking: Once you’ve completed your shawl, blocking is essential to achieve the perfect shape. Use blocking mats and pins to gently stretch the edges.

Continue this pattern, alternating colors every two rows, until the shawl reaches the desired length or you run out of yarn. Remember to keep track of your color changes and ensure your edges remain straight and even.
