How happy I am that I am about to share with you this Poppy Flowers Shawl Pattern!
As I wrote in a post on Instagram, I don’t like to make shawls, but I love to wear them. I am that kind of a person, that if I have my neck covered, the rest doesn’t matter 😁. Especially with this weather changing, when it’s not that cold anymore, but neither warm enough.
For this Poppy Flowers Shawl, I used the same combination of stitches as for the Snowflakes Sweater, but this time using only 3 colors and I am happy with how everything comes together.
I have to say that I am not a fan of red, but in combination with Grey and Black I think is looking pretty good.
Plus the combination of colors is infinite and can’t wait to see what you have for this design.

NOTES ABOUT DESIGN
This shawl has an asymmetrical construction by increasing only on one side.
After completing the first part of the shawl, work a border on 2 sides of the triangle (length and width). Work the last 2 rounds of the edge around the entire scarf.
This pattern requires single crochet, double crochet, 3 double crochet cross stitch, 2 double crochet cross stitch, 5 double crochet shell stitch, 3 and 5 double crochet cluster or group.
MEASUREMENTS AND SIZES
Width a: 90 cm
Length b: 140 cm
Diagonal c: 170 cm
*all measurements are taken after blocking and include border
How much Yarn do you need?
I used Hand Dyed yarn by Needle Hook Fibers in colors Black, Red, and Grey.
For the entire shawl, I used approximately one hank of each color. Each skein has 100 grams and 400 yards.
STITCH PATTERN AND TECHNIQUES
The pattern for the part of the main shawl is a combination of rows in different stitch patterns.
More exactly will be six different rows.
1st row: single crochet
2nd and 3rd row: 3dc cross stitch
*Skip the next st, 1dc in next 2 sts, 1dc in the skipped st. *Rep. to the end of the row
4th row: double crochet
5th Row: 5 double crochet shell stitch
*1sc, skip next 2 sts, 5dc in next st, skip the next 2 sts. *Rep. until the end of the row.
6th row: 5 double crochet worked together (dc5tog)
Dc2tog (dc3tog, dc5tog) – *yarn over, insert the hook into the next st, yarn over, and pull it through the first 2 loops on the hook. *rep 2 (3 or 5 times for dc3tog and dc5tog) times, yarn over and pull the yarn through all loops on your hook
These stitch patterns will have minor variations to fit the shawl design
To obtain the asymmetrical shape, increase on single crochet and double crochet row.
ABBREVIATIONS
- Ch – chain
- Sc – single crochet
- Dc – double crochet

TENSION (GAUGE)
Using a 4 mm crochet hook
- 19 sts and 10 rows = 10 cm

NOTES
Always ch3 at the beginning of each row that starts with double crochet.
Ch3 counts as the first double crochet.
Work the last st into the 3rd st of the turning ch.
Always ch1 at the beginning of a row which starts with sc.
Ch1 does not count as first sc.
Change the color after each row, in the last st.
If you are working with 3 colors, you don’t have to cut the yarn. Carry the thread on the side.
After completing one set of 6 rows, the number of stitches will increase with 6.
Increase only on single crochet row and double crochet row: with 2 sts on single crochet row and 4 sts on double crochet row.
Work the shawl flat. Turn after each row (except for the 2 last rounds of the border)
Working in the side rows sts, work 3dc in one space followed by 2 dc in next. Where you have 1 sc row, make only one dc.
