  • I wanted to make a red shawl for such a long time already. Wearing red makes me feel great, strong and powerful. With a bit of diva-allures and sensuality ! I searched for ‘the right kind of red’ for quite some time. Finding that remarquable shade of ‘divine diva red’ was a goal for me, I just needed the perfect shade ! This handdyed Dutch Wool Diva Sock Twist in came along on my facebook timeline, and I did not hesitate for 1 second and ‘grabbed’ 3 skeins. The result is this Diamond Diva Shawl. Red geometric motifs, joined together, forming the perfect sized triangular shawl. During the joining and the finishing of the shawl, you will notice the delicate sensual movement appearing, giving the strong geometric forms a bit of ‘tender movement’, like they are dancing and finding the perfect rhythm. Fully written pattern, in English (US terms) and Dutch. Several charts added, and schematics as well. Tested as well. Enjoy ! Yarn : handdyed Dutch Wool Diva Sock Twist , 1 skein = 100g = 425m. I needed 3 FULL skeins, so please check your gauge ! (if you know you crochet rather loosely, keep in mind you might need a bit more yarn).
  • Waking up and seeing the sunbeams through the curtains. Let’s celebrate the sun with this shawl pattern ! A topdown, oval-shaped shawl, with lots of sunbeams. The comfortable shape prevents the shawl from dropping of your shoulders, you will love wearing it. The last row has delicate sparkled seed beads who reflect beautifully in the daylight. (the beading is optional). Fully written pattern in English and Dutch. Several large charts are added. The shawl measures 140cm/56in wingspan. The pattern is not easily adjustable. If you like a larger shawl, I recommend using thicker yarn and a larger crochet hook. Yarn : DK weight yarn. I used : Scheepjes Softfun Denim : 5 balls - you will need between 600 - 750 m of yarn Crochet hook :  4,5 mm. Skill level : intermediate This design was previously published in Inside Crochet Magazine. Tested by my testing panel.
