Is there anything better than a one-skein shawl that features a self striping yarn that works in crochet? We don’t think so! Dark Sky Shawl is crocheted in Cascade Whirligig, and the looooooong repeats go together so harmoniously that we don’t think there’s a color we wouldn’t like for this project. After a few rows of setup its easy stitching, but seeing the stripes shape up will keep you going. Finish it off with a pretty picot edge.

I've made 2 shawls already using this pattern. I'm on my 3rd one using a very thin cotton yarn. I came back to buy more of the Whirligig yarn because it's a joy to work with. It's soft and drapes well and the colors are beautiful. Thank you.

I plan on making two shawls. I’m half way through the first and I’m enjoying the simple pattern and the softness of the yarn. It’s a joy to make and what I call a ‘conversation piece’: It’s easy to crochet while chatting with a friend.

I love the yarn and pattern. The drape is nice . My only complaint some would say is petty. I like to recreate the picture shown. I ran out of the 1st color 7 stitches early. The 2nd color ran out 33 stitches early. Maybe if you included in the pattern how many rows for each color it would be helpful. I tried to count in the picture but it was not clear. Obviously, this is my guage that is off from whoever created this. I'm just starting the third color and the 22nd row so I'm concerned I may not have enough yarn to finish the shawl.
OBOne Big Happy9 months agoJoy, you're doing great! Each cake of yarn is a smidge different so there's no way to exactly recreate the image. Those color changes didn't happen at the edges in the sample either, you just can't really see it in the image <3
