Amethyst Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern
The Amethyst Shawl is a lacy, triangle shawl in a beautiful cotton yarn. It’s quick to crochet and is worked on the diagonal corner-to-corner method. Finish off the edges with a contrasting color for a lovely laying accessory.

The yarn is Hobbii Twister Solid in white and Cotton Kings Sultan in color Amethyst. I used a size H/5.00 mm crochet hook to give it the drape. This is one of my favorite shawls to make and to wear.
