Anchor Cove Shawl

A central filet panel featuring an anchor makes this shawl a subtle and effective summer shawl. Flanked by wavy white panels, the combination is a positively nautical design ready for walks on the beach or taking on the high seas.

Time: One Week

Skill Level: Intermediate

Size: 59” x 14.5” (150 cm x 37 cm)

Gauge: 24 dc = 4” [10 cm]. (Gauge is not crucial for this project)

Materials

Super fine weight yarnYarn: Scheepjes Whirlette (60% cotton, 40% acrylic; 498 yards [455 meters]/100 grams): 868 Bilberry (A, 2 balls), 860 Ice (B, 1 ball)

Hook: US size E/4 (3.25 mm)

Special Stitches

Open block (Open Bl): Ch 1, sk next st or ch, dc in next st.

Pattern Notes

First the anchor panel is worked in filet crochet and then each side of the shawl is built up in a filet wave pattern. To finish, the whole shawl is bordered by a few filet crochet rounds.

The anchor filet crochet chart is worked back and forth in rows. Odd numbered rows are worked from right to left and even numbered rows are worked from left to right (if right handed). Always ch 3 at the beginning of a row. This counts as the first dc. Turn after every row.
