From a very young age, I’ve always been drawn to water. Whether it is a lake, a river, an ocean, or even a marsh. I could occupy myself for hours, just being by the water. This is likely the reason that I have a soft spot for shell patterns. 

The Free Crochet Shawl Pattern – Thalassa Shawl features a softly fading shell pattern, finished in a delicate lacy edge. The shell pattern fades and returns much like the tides, which is why I chose to name it after a goddess of the sea.

How To Crochet The Free Crochet Shawl Pattern – Thalassa Shawl

Finished Sizes:

Instructions given to make a 48” L x 43” H shawl with added notes for making a larger shawl. 

Abbreviations:

Rs = Right Side

Ws = Wrong Side

Sk = Skip

Sp = Space

St = Stitch

Ss = Slip Stitch

Ch = Chain

Sc = Single Crochet

Dc = Double Crochet

Dss = Double Slip Stitch

Hdc2tog = Half Double Crochet 2 Together

Dc2tog = Double Crochet 2 Together

Materials:

I used Yarn Bee Rainbow Wrapsody, which is 60% cotton, 40% acrylic #1 Superfine weight yarn. 

Any yarn of similar weight would work. 

Approximately 918 yds. 

4mm 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 stitches is considered a stitch. 

Ch3 at the beginning of a row is considered a dc.

Gauge Check: Your project should now be approximately 4” high (from the 1st row to the last row on the straight edge) and 3 ½” wide (across the top of the last row). If you are working with the same yarn and making the same size as I did, it is recommended you stay as close to gauge as possible. If you are using a different yarn or making a different size, gauge is less important.

If you would like to make a larger shawl than what I have created, you will need to add rows here. Beginning from row 27, add any multiple of 8 rows. It needs to be a multiple of 8 in order for the edging stitch pattern to work out. Then, work the Edging rows below. Keep in mind that your stitch count will differ from the ones below.
