Use this Crochet Triangle Shawl Pattern to Make a Statement Piece
Step number one in designing this statement wrap for my fall wardrobe was selecting my colors. I wanted something that was mostly neutral, but with a pop of color. I loved the pink coral color of 'Mai Tai' when I looked at it online, and it is equally lovely in person! That being said, Chic Sheep yarn comes in 24 different colors including brights and neutrals, so your color options are pretty much endless. Don't want to deal with color changes? No problem! This shawl has so much texture, it would look beautiful in a solid color as well!
Crochet Texture with the Baby Bean Stitch
And speaking of texture, the stitch definition with this yarn is also fabulous. It shows off the texture of the baby bean stitch beautifully, and it is so soft and springy you could seriously fold this thing up and use it as a pillow. I will admit to having done so at least a couple of times now!

Pattern Notes
- ch 2 at the beginning of rows DOES count as a stitch
- after Row 1, the number in ( ) designates the number of stitches per SIDE of the shawl (essentially half the row). That number does not include the ch stitches in the middle of the row. These sides will be referred to as ‘side one’ and ‘side two’.
- Color A = Linen, Color B = Lace, Color C = Mai Tai. Colors for a row are only indicated when there is a change from the previous row.
