Rose Relief Shawl



Hi there! Here is my new shawl with v-shaped rose stripes. It took me a very long time to finish. Although the pattern is very easy, it requires a lot of counting and concentrating. I’ve made another one earlier this year, using one color. Unfortunately, it was purchased before I had a chance to take photos of it.

Skill level: Intermediate

Note: this pattern follows the filet crochet technique. You can learn more about it by watching this video:


Materials:
  • Yarn: Alize superlana tig, 75% acrylic, 25% wool, 3.35 oz. (100 g), 623 yards (570 m), in the following colors and quantities: Coffee with Milk 584 (2 skeins) and Cream Mélange 213 (2 skeins).
  • Crochet hook, size US D (2.5 mm)

Measurements: 77" x 39" (196 x 98 cm), excluding the fringe.

Crochet terms (US):
  • ch: chain.
  • sc: single stitch.
  • dc: double crochet.
  • tc: treble crochet.
  • sl st: slip stitch.
  • ch5picot: ch 5, sl st to first ch.

Important note:
I have designed the rose relief shawl pattern out of a pixel art drawing I found and liked on pinterest, and so this pattern may be confusing. So let's clear the confusion first; Just imagine it is a cross-stitch embroidery pattern:
  • The pattern boxes are of two colors; white and black.
  • Each horizontal row of boxes is a crochet row.
  • Each row starts with ch 4, and ends with tr stitch to increase the number of the sts tin order to expand the triangle shape. 
  • You crochet each row by doing numbers of either dc or ch.
  • The black box means work 3 dc
  • The white box means work dc, ch 1, dc
  • The boxes share the vertical sides, which means the first or last dc 1 is previously mentioned.
  • At the bottom of this post, below each image of the patterns I made, there is a link to the same image in HD. It is better to print or save them to your viewing devise so you can follow the design easily.


Instructions:

Note: you are going to start the work from the bottom and up.

Row 1: With dark color, start with ch 6, sl st to first ch, turn.

Row 2: ch 4, dc in first st of row 1, skip 1 ch, ch 1, dc in next ch, ch 1, tr in the same ch, turn.

Row 3: ch 4, dc in tr, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in third ch of ch 4 of previous row, ch 1, tr in the same ch, turn.

Row 4: ch 4, dc in tr, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc 3 times, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in third ch of ch 4 of previous row, ch 1, tr in the same ch, turn.

Row 5: ch 4, dc in tr, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc 7 times, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in third ch of ch 4 of previous row, ch 1, tr in the same ch, turn.

Row 6: ch 4, dc in tr, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc, skip dc, ch 1, dc in dc 7 times, skip dc, ch 1, dc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in third ch of ch 4 of previous row, ch 1, tr in the same ch, turn.

Row 7: ch 4, dc in tr, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc, skip dc, ch 1, dc in dc, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in dc, skip  dc, ch 1, dc in dc 3 times, skip dc, ch 1, dc in dc, skip ch 1 space, ch 1, dc in dc, skip dc, ch 1, dc in dc, dc in ch 1 space, dc in dc, ch 1, dc in third ch of ch 4 of previous row, ch 1, tr in the same ch, turn.

When you look at the detailed drawing, you will notice the way the crochet pattern matches the rose relief design. Every white box is (skip st, ch 1) crocheted, and every colored box is filled with (dc in dc). 
The detailed drawing clears the beginning of the shawl, once you start and get the idea, the work will go easily.

Follow the pattern as shown in the detailed drawing.

    1. Hello, only the first 7 rows are available, for the rest of the rows you have to follow the diagrams. Sorry for the confusion, I'm trying to make the charts easier to read.

    1. Many thanks to you, I didn't understand what you mean by "full shawl". but if you are referring to the detailed pattern, I just added it to get the concept of the pattern.
      this shawl is worked following the filet crochet technique.
      Please inter the link and see what it means, it is really very simple once you figure it out, just look at the whole shawl pattern as small boxes; black and white, the black ones is worked (dc, dc) and the white is worked (dc, ch 1).
      I hope I've made it clearer. Merry Christmas

  6. Your shawl is beautiful and I would like to make it. I know how to do Filet Crochet and I can also read a chart but you chart is incomplete. It only shows the rows right before the large rose in the square. Would you post the chart for the whole square or maybe take a picture of the triangle (the shawl) laying flat.

    1. hello and welcome, sorry for the delay in responding. the reason was that I am trying to find out how can I make the instructions clearer and easier to follow, because I'm being asked not just by you. So I am going to add a tutorial paragraph to the post. It will be available in few day.

      have a nice spring day

  7. I cannot read the patterns. They will not enlarge and they have your logo across them which makes it difficult to see the stitches.

    1. Thank you for the comment, believe me it's very easy once you realize that the pattern consists of just two types of boxes or squares: the uncolored ones which are worked 'ch 1, dc' and the colored ones which are filled with 'dc instead of ch 1'.
      All you have to do is; counting boxes, and the roses will appear eventually.
      As a matter of fact, it's a repetitive boring counting work.

      I hope it is clearer for you now.
