This shawl looks breathtaking in a gradient yarn. In the pattern, I have used a custom 200g gradient in black to turquoise, from Wollelfe. However you could easily use any other yarn weight as you can finish the shawl after any shell row (the earlier to finish, the smaller the shells).

You can create the subtle ‘illuminated heart’ effect by starting with a dark shade, then switching to the brighter end of the gradient yarn when the heart is complete. Alternatively, you could let the heart take the limelight by starting with the brighter end of the gradient, then changing to the deeper end.

We begin this shawl with solid rows of US Double Crochet stitches, increasing in certain areas to establish the shape. The first half of the shawl is interspersed with lace rows, to create the look of a growing heart. We then work our way into the second half of the shawl which is made up of shell stitches, which grow as you work!

I hope you like my pattern,
Much Love,
Cheer Design
