Construction
The crochet shawl is worked from the top down in rows. The sides and bottom point expand as the shawl is increased. Continue to work rows making the shawl as large as you want. The Modern Day Shawl is an easy crochet pattern and is written in standard American terms.
Back Story
A few years ago, I designed the Modern Day Shawl for my Mother as a gift. The yarn I used at that time is now discontinued so I wanted to give this pattern an update in a new yarn that would do this pattern justice. When WeCrochet released Brava Tweed I knew it was the perfect yarn for this shawl! The yarn is soft, affordable and comes in beautiful and modern colours.
The original pattern was worked in Bulky weight yarn, and the new pattern is crocheted in worsted weight. No need to worry about the difference in yarn weight because the gauge is not important for this crochet shawl pattern. All you need to do is keep working rows until the size you’d like is reached.

Hook
I used the Furls Crochet Cafe Streamline crochet hook for this pattern. My obsession with coffee has a little bit to do with my colour choice. I love them so much that I ordered the whole set! Not only are these hooks beautiful but they provide me with hours of pain-free crocheting due to the large comfortable grip. This is especially beneficial when working with smaller hook sizes.
You can purchase them HERE and make sure to use my exclusive code MJS15 for 15% off your order. I highly recommend the travel clutch for keeping your hooks safe and organized.
The herringbone crochet stitch shawl is sure to become one of your favourites for Spring and Fall wear. It makes the perfect crochet gift for a loved one or a great seller for craft markets. They work up quickly and due to the repetitive stitch pattern, they are easy to crochet while on the road, talking with friends or while watching TV.
