Droplets is a triangular shawl that is crocheted back and forth, from one side to the other. After the first starting rows this pattern consists of 8 repeatable rows which makes it very easy to customize the size, and you can use any wheight yarn with suitable hook for this design.
The Droplets shawl above is made with hook 3.5 mm and the yarn Scheepjes Whirl, color 776 Rosewater Cocktail. One cake is enough for this pattern. I didn’t use a whole cake and the shawl measures 160 x 120 x 120 cm (63 x 47 in) after blocking.
Pattern features:
- Written pattern in Swedish, English (US and UK), Danish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Slovak.
- Photo tutorials to show the neccesary steps of the pattern
Stitches used in this pattern (US terms): Chain, slip stitch, half double crochet, single crochet, double crochet, double crochet 2 together *, popcorn *.
Stitches marked with an * are described in my Stitch Guide.
For this Droplets shawl I used the thicker yarn Scheepjes Secret Garden and hook 4.5 mm. I used two colors and made the shawl striped, how to do so is described in the pattern. The colors are 707 and 701, and three skeins of each color was needed.

Your usual classy creation, Johanna. 🙂
My only problem is the blocking: I don’t have enough infrastructure to do blocking; and I don’t want to spend money on stuff I don’t know how to use …
Can you recommend a really good instructional video or text for blocking, please ?

I use a yoga mat and ordinary sewing pins. There seems to be a few different ways of going about it. I’ve been knitting for years and hadn’t blocked anything until a couple of years ago. I’ve only blocked shawls.

I wish you would give a gauge I made the lost in time shawl and it is gorgeous but too small to wear as seen in the photo. When i added more rows it became unwieldy and too heavy

Im sorry to hear that, did you use any of the yarn I suggested?
The Droplets pattern is made for any gauge and I made two in different wheight and I think both is great. Did you take a look at the yarn suggestions?

Hi Christine!
Its hard to me to know how much you actually can do, but I generally think that most of us can do way more than we think 🙂 I just started a FB-group “Mijo Crochet Hangout” where you will be able to ask questions and get help from me or fellow crocheters.

The pattern itself has photos to visualise each row of the pattern and also has a stitch guide. Have you made any of my other patterns or any other patterns that I can take a look at and see if I think it needs the same level of skills?
