Once I'd finished a shawl for my aunt Britt for Christmas (it's called the Fall Shawl, and I'm working on the second one since I can't remember how I did my turns in the mini bean stitch xD) I got a hold of this lovely yarn by CEWEC. It doesn't really have a name, just a number, but it reminded me of the circus that was in town at the time I started the pattern. I've let it lie for a while, and I'm currently in the process of making a second one of these. But this is the original, the simple and colorful shawl I wanted, that still draws the eye and makes you feel a little happier - just like a circus tent! Supplies:
Abbreviations (US terminology): CH - chain DC - double crochet SL - slip stitch ST - stitch Vst - v stitch (dc, ch 1, dc in same space/stitch) Pattern notes:
All stitch counting was done after the shawl was already done, so it might not entirely add up. Hopefully it does, and I'm working through my second shawl right now to see that it all adds up. This pattern isn't tested by anyone but myself. Pattern Row 1 Ch 4, sl st to first ch to form a circle. Ch 3, dc 3 times into circle, ch 2, dc 4 (8) Row 2 Ch 3, dc 2 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 3 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 3, put 3 dc in last st (14) Row 3 Ch 3, dc 2 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 6 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 6 st, put 3 dc in last st (20) Row 4 Ch 3, dc 2 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 9 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 9 st, put 3 dc in last st (26) Row 5 Ch 3, dc 1 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 12 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 12 st, put 2 dc in last st (30) Row 6 Ch 3, dc 2 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 14 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 14 st, put 3 dc in last st (36) Row 7 Ch 3, dc 1 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 17 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 17 st, dc 2 in last st (40) Row 8 Ch 3, dc 2 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 19 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 17, dc 3 in last st (46) Row 9 Ch 3, dc 2 in same st as starting chain, dc in next 21 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 21, dc 3 in last st (52) Row 10 Ch 3, dc 2 in same start as starting chain, dc in next 24 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, dc in next 24, dc 3 in last st (58) Row 11 Ch 4, dc in same st as starting chain, skip 1 st, Vst in next st, +sk 1, Vst in next st++ until you have 1 dc unworked before the ch 2 space, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, skip first dc, Vst in next st, +sk 1, Vst in next++ untilt he end (14 Vst, dc-ch2-dc, 14 Vst) Row 12 Ch 4, dc in same st, sk ch 1 and put a Vst in the first dc, +Vst in each ch 1 space++ until the space between Vst and ch 2 space of the row below.

I will translate and post the SWE version of this pattern in due time. Meanwhile, follow me on instagram and pinterest for more crocheting goofiness. If you do follow me, pretty please tag me on instagram if you make it - I'd love to see your take on this! Happy crocheting, Jenn
