My motto for this knit triangle shawl is “The weather will get colder, eventually”. I created this shawl with the beautiful Gazzal Viking yarn for those cold days when you just have to put something over your shoulders, even if you are inside.
Simple stitches that create an elegant and timeless design. The yarn itself is a pleasure to work with as it is very soft and thick enough to make the rows fly by. I hope you will have as much fun as I did when making this shawl.
The pattern can be very easily memorized and you can watch your favorite show while keeping your hands busy. Any advanced beginner that can make an increase in knitting will be able to complete this project. Let’s see what are you going to need.

Happy Tuesday everybody! I’m so excited to be able to share this FREE crochet pattern made in collaboration with HobiumYarns with you all, using their new Akçaylar 100% Paper Yarn!
Head’s up! Each skein of this fun yarn is quite large, so could easily make a few of these clutches – the fact that you’re using paper to crochet with is so neat, and makes for a fun “straw-like” texture (perfect for summer projects!)
To close the flap of the clutch, I created a little loop at the top & used a fun little sunflower button (also from HobiumYarns) so it can be closed securely.
There’s also optional directions to add a wrist strap if you’d like! It’s cute + adds a little extra security to help hold the clutch! 😉
Being this pattern was designed in collaboration with HobiumYarns, I wanted to offer this as a free pattern, but I also have the condensed, inexpensive, ad-free + instant-downloadable PDF pattern available in my shop if you’d like! 🙂

(You’ll now be crocheting in the round, by making stitches across as normal, and the turning & crocheting down the side, bottom, & across the other side of the rows you just crocheted, & joining with a sl st to the beginning st of the round.)
