As you may have guessed, I’m a bit of a yarn hoarder. And since I’ve been having issues with nerve pain in my hands, I’ve been focusing most of my crochet time on super quick projects, like baby hats and chunky yarn projects.

But since this is my birthday month, I decided it was time to make something for ME. And I found a lovely skein of merino silk blend fingering weight yarn in my March KnitCrate that was absolutely perfect! I rarely get the chance to use fingering weight yarn, so I wanted to make something I could wear year round here in Florida. Don’t you love how beachy and open this shawl is? It’s so soft and flowy that I want to wear it everywhere!

This is also a part of the Design Create Repeat Collab,which is themed Light and Flowy for April! Check out Melanie’s  Caitlin Desert Top pattern here!

I chose to use the Solomon’s Knot stitch, because it’s so airy and lacy. Plus it let me finish the entire shawl with just one skein of yarn! This shawl pattern is perfect for stash busting, and gifting. I love that I can wear it as a shawl, scarf, or wrap, too! I still need to find a good shawl pin for it, though.

Materials

H/8 5.0mm Crochet Hook- I tried the Addi Swing and it really helped my hands!

400yds fingering weight yarn. I used a merino wool/silk blend from my March KnitCrate – Click here to try KnitCrate!

Scissors

Yarn Needle

Abbreviations

Ch- chain

Sc- single crochet’

Sk – skip

Sol K -Solomon’s Knot

Special Stitches

Solomon’s Knot: lengthen the loop on your hook to desired length, yarn over and pull the loop through, insert hook into the tall loops, yarn over and pull up another loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.

Gauge / Finished Size

Each Solomon’s knot should be 1” in length.

Finished pattern is 2 Solomon’s Knots and 3 rows in 2” square.

Notes

Shawl is worked flat in turned rows. I worked my shawl in wide rows, but I’ve included instructions for short rows in parentheses. The finished look would be the same either way.

    I was looking through your how to hints & tips when read the header to the have post. I didn’t read all of it but want as you question do you do the air piano like air guitar? If no try it for 5 minutes before you start to crochet or use your hands for type of work. I have been using this has easy way to keep my hands fixable and pain free as I am in my late 60’s have been crocheting since I was 4. by the time I was in my 30’s I started to do the air piano which I advice to do by piano teacher Hope this is helpful it’s something I can do at any time, where with cost but time and effort

      Hi Jackie!

      You know I never really thought about that before, but you’re right, that could be helpful. I actually DO sometimes play “air piano,” but more just because I used to play when I was younger and now don’t have an instrument. That’s a great idea to help keep your hands in shape!

      Thanks,
      Katie
