Spring is almost here, but there’s still a chill in the air and what better way to keep you warm! Crochet yourself a quick and beautiful shawl.

There are some amazing variations of colors out there just check out google images.
I used 220grams of fingering/lace yarn (#3) and a 2mm hook.
Now take a deep breath! This is the pattern diagram.. and yes its looks like aliens have landed and left us scrambling to learn their language. Fear not and keep reading!
