Free Shawl Crochet Pattern
The shawl is worked as follows: each row starts with a new yarn and this yarn is cut off at the end of the row. The yarns alternate between "light" and "dark". Although I used a uniform black yarn for the "dark" color and 4 shades of blue yarn for the "light" color, you can use all kinds and any number of colors. This pattern is perfect for using leftover yarn scraps, even very short ones. You can choose to use one yarn for the "dark" or "light" color and then scrap yarn for the other color. Or you can use scrap yarn for the entire thing.
