Windows Shawl

Note: Written instructions have been updated and a chart has been added on March 1st, 2021.

Hello fellow crocheters! This piece was my contribution to AllFreeCrochet's 10th Birthday Celebration back in June (thank you AllFreeCrochet.com for the Invitation!). This shawl is pretty to wear and easy to make. It features a simple window pattern, and is surprisingly asymmetrical. I added fringes to give it a sharper shape, and I am very happy with the final look. I hope that you all will like and make this shawl yourselves. Stay safe and healthy and happy crocheting!
