The Hooks
I used my Furls Odyhttps://shrsl.com/4epqossey hook for this design. It glides effortlessly with this yarn, and there are so many pretty colours to choose from. The odyssey is quickly becoming one of my favourite hooks, especially when I’m working with a 4.5mm or smaller. I’ve been growing my collection and have these beautiful colours so far.
The pattern is simple and quick but I still included a video tutorial on my YouTube channel. The most important thing to remember with a crochet boomerang shawl is it needs to be blocked. As you work it will curl. This is completely normal. it just needs a good soak and block to finish it off.
What I love about a crochet boomerang shawl is how well it fits. It’s natural shape curves perfectly around your neck, staying in place. I used 2 balls to make my shawl, but if you want it larger as a wrap or just for more coverage, use 3-4 balls.
