When I created the Pinnacle Pullover, I knew right away that those stitches paired with Expression Fiber Arts Beacon DK Yarn, would be perfect for a matching shawl.
Constructed from a combination of simple and textured stitches, this shawl is a quick and easy project. Basic double crochet and mesh stitches give the piece lightness and drape, while the mixed cluster, back loop, and third loop stitches add character.

Materials:
I used Expression Fiber Arts Beacon DK yarn, which is a 25% Baby Camel/25% Mulberry Silk/50% Lyocelll, #3 DK weight yarn.
Any yarn of similar weight would work.
Approximately 1250 yds.
4.5mm Hook
Stitch Markers
Yarn Needle
Scissors
Measuring Tape
Gauge:
If you are using a different yarn, gauge is not very important with this shawl. Use a hook that suits your yarn and gives it a good drape.
If you are using the same yarn I used and you would like to achieve the same drape, you may want to get close to the gauge I achieved.
I have noted in the pattern at which points you should measure for gauge.
Notes:
Ch1 at the beginning of a row is never considered a stitch.
Ch1 between sts does count as a stitch.
Ch3 at the beginning of a row is considered a dc.

This incredible yarn is crafted from a dreamy blend of Baby Camel, Mulberry Silk, and Lyocell, creating one of the softest fibers I’ve ever worked with. The colors are rich and vibrant, with just a touch of sheen, while the fabric itself has a beautiful drape and just the right amount of spring. No matter which shade you choose, I promise—you won’t be disappointed! This is truly the most luxurious yarn I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.

Gauge check: Your triangle should measure 5 ¼” H x 8 ” W (unblocked). If your measurements are not close to correct, try again with a different sized hook.
- Ch3, dc in 1st st. Dc in blo of each st until ch2. (2dc, ch2, 2dc) in ch2 sp. Dc in blo of each st until 1 left. 2dc in both loops of last st. Turn. – 68 st + ch2 peak

Repeat rows 3-14 until you have reached the desired length, minus approximately 7” (measuring at the center peak) Be sure to end with a repeat of row 14. Then repeat rows 13 & 14 three times (adding a total of 6 rows). For reference: I repeated rows 3-14 until I had a total of 62 rows. Then, I repeated rows 13 & 14 three more times, bringing my total up to 68 rows (giving me a st count of 410 st + ch2 peak). Next, you will work the finishing rows below.

You may choose to finish off the top of your shawl. If you are using a multicoloured yarn or long colour changing yarn, you may want to skip this step (like I did) as it will interrupt the colour flow on the main body of the shawl.
With the right side facing you, join your yarn at the right corner. Ch1 and sc across the top edge of the shawl, working into the ends of each row. The number of stitches does not really matter, as long as it looks flat and even. For my shawl, I worked this row in the following manner:
- I worked 1 sc in the end of each sc or dss row.
- I alternated between working 1 and 2 sc in the end of each hdc and mc row.
- I worked 2 sc in the end of each dc row.
- I worked 3 sc in the end of each tr row.
When you finish working across the top, bind off.
Weave in your ends, and you’re done! I highly recommend blocking your shawl. Mine was a bit wonky, and blocking flattened it out and greatly improved the shape and drape.
I hope you love your new crochet shawl, and I look forward to seeing all of your beautiful pictures on Ravelry!
