Three Shawls from One Pattern — Three step-by-step variations of the Holiday Shawl, each one playing with yarn and colour in a different way — to show you how far one pattern can go.

Step-by-Step Video Lessons — Follow along row by row, from the first chain to the last — no charts to decode. Plus short lessons on how to create the drape this shawl needs, joining yarn methods, and more.

Design & Colour Lessons— How to choose colours, create colour palettes, pair yarns and place them across the shawl so the design is yours — here, and in every project after.

Yarn & Stash Lessons— How to mix the yarns you already have, and hold thin ones together to make a yarn of your own. Plus a list of my favourite yarns for adding sparkle and texture.

Finishing Touches — Lessons on how to add the details that give the shawl its character, like a creative fringe and special necklines — and how small details can change any design.

Printable Pattern — The full written pattern as a PDF, in US and UK terminology, for anyone who likes to work from one. You don't need it to make the shawl: every row is taught on video, so if you've never read a pattern, you won't have to start now.

Captions in Five Languages — Taught in English, with captions in Spanish, French, German, Polish and Italian.

Left-Handed Videos — Every step-by-step lesson comes in a right-handed and a left-handed version, so you follow along exactly as you crochet — no mirroring in your head.

Lifetime Access — Come back whenever you like, and every lesson I add later is yours at no extra cost.

The Holiday Shawl is for you if:

• You've been collecting yarns for years (even the smallest little bits) dreaming of making beautiful things to wear.
• You've been following patterns, but now want the freedom and confidence to play with yarns and colours in everything you make.
• You know basic simple stitches and want to use them to make artistic, creative wearables.
• Your life is busy, and you want a project you can pick up and put down when it suits you.
• You’re a beginner crocheter, and you rather play with yarn and colour than follow a complex pattern with complicated stitches.
• You want to wear your shawl and be asked "where did you get that!"

The Holiday Shawl isn't for you if:

• You just want a pattern to follow. This is much more than a pattern. It's a masterclass in yarn and colour, and the shawl is the canvas. (a pattern is included though…)

Tools

• An 8mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• A darning needle

Yarn

• 350–400m for the shawl itself, plus extra for the fringe
• DK weight works best — a little thinner or a little heavier is great too
• Use a mixture of yarns rather than one. Different fibres, textures and colours all welcome, and there's no limit on how many you bring in

This is the perfect project for raiding your stash. Pull out the odd balls and leftovers, and if you're short, top up with something new ❤️
