Topelt Shawl Free Crochet Pattern

The construction of the Topelt Shawl Free Crochet Pattern is simple and a great intro to working short rows. First, the trim is made then the body of the shawl is added by working in short rows.

The shawl is extra long and almost scarf-like. This makes it easy to wrap and keep on. It’s also very versatile because you can wear it several different ways. Let it drape like a normal shawl or wrap it round and round to look more like a cowl.
