The Geometric Journey CAL starts!

Today we start our Geometric Journey together. We will crochet the two first mosaic patterns of the shawl, and learn how to make the half double crochet spike stitch (hdc-spike, US terms) which is vital for this reversible mosaic technique. I have made a video tutorial showing the first 12 rows of the pattern and the hdc-spike. The video is available in my Facebook Group Mijo Crochet Hangout and on YouTube.

I used a reversible mosaic technique to create the different mosaic patterns of this shawl, which means that the shawl looks the same on both sides. There is no right or back side and the shawl looks gorgeous in any way you put it on. As an additional perk you never cut the yarn until the shawl is all done.

The mesmerizing color effects of these shawls is created by altering between a gradient yarn cake and a solid colored yarn (see more yarn details below).

Even if this pattern looks advanced, it is made using only basic crochet stitches (chain, slip stitch, single crochet and half double crochet, US terms). If you can master these stitches, you can make this shawl.

When I wrote this pattern I was aiming for that even a new (adventurous) crocheter would be able to follow and make it. Each part of this pattern has written instructions, many progress photos and charts. I will also be available in my FB group during the whole CAL to support and help.

This CAL will run over five weeks, and I will host it in my Facebook group Mijo Crochet Hangout.
You can of course make this CAL without joing the Facebook group, You can also follow me on Instagram: @mijocrochet and on my Facebook page for more updates and photos of this shawl.
