Spiced Up Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern

*** I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern available here on my blog! An ad-free, formatted PDF version of this crochet pattern is also available for purchase here:


There is pretty much nothing better than a beautiful skein of hand dyed yarn, am I right? So I was just thrilled to team up with my new friends over at Mad Science Yarn to bring you a brand new pattern! The Spiced Up Shawl was not my initial intention for this yarn. But after I got my hands on it, the idea for this pattern came to life!

The Spiced Up Shawl is a fun triangle shawl full of varying textures and is paired with striped coloring. It is the perfect size and weight to dress up a fall outfit. I used the Test Tube yarn, which is a 2-ply fingering weight yarn made of a superwash merino and nylon blend. These colors were not only gorgeous, but they are so soft! I definitely see some garments with Test Tube in the future.
