It can turn up the personality of any outfit--especially if it's hand stitched by you! For this stunning collection, we dug into the Interweave archive and carefully selected 20 of our most-loved crochet shawls. Not just for spring, these shawls vary in weight and warmth, from light and lacy for a warm summer evening to cozy and textured to protect against winter's chill. So you can keep your hook busy year-round--and explore new techniques while you're at it. Try your hand at intricate lace work with the Eolande Shawlette. Explore a new motif with the Pleiades Shawl. Or add some beads to your stitching with the Emergence Shawl. Whichever shawl you crochet, it's sure to make a statement when you step out in boho style.
