Pattern Description:

Dress for cold weather in style with this ruana-type thread crochet shawl in fiery fall colors of black, red and orange. This versatile shawl can be worn in many ways, such as belted, straight or wrapped around the shoulders.

Using two strands of thread together makes the project go more quickly. This is a repeating pattern for most of the shawl, with a length of thread left at the end of each row to create the fringe at the front and back. Follow the instructions closely for the neck shaping section which only has fringe along the bottom edge of the back.

This pattern is written in U.S. terms.
