Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in four colors (e.g., coral, teal, mustard, and cream)
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 double crochet (dc) and 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with Color A: Choose your first color, coral, and make a slip knot on your hook.
2. Form a Ring: Chain (ch) 4, then slip stitch (sl st) into the first chain to form a ring.
3. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 2 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Chain 2, then work 3 dc into the ring. Turn your work.
4. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 2 dc in the first dc of the previous round. Work 1 dc in each dc across to the ch-2 space. In the ch-2 space, work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc). Continue working 1 dc in each dc across, and finish by working 3 dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rounds: Continue repeating Round 2. Every four rows, change colors in the following sequence: Color B (teal), Color C (mustard), and Color D (cream).
6. Measure Your Shawl: Continue crocheting until your shawl measures approximately 60 inches across the top edge. This will ensure it is wide enough to wrap comfortably around your shoulders.
7. Finish Up: Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your shawl a neat finish.
