How to Crochet an Asymmetrical Shawl

Euphoria Shawl- free crochet pattern

I can’t resist MadTosh yarn and their beautiful colorways and their soft bases. But, it ends up being the yarn that you feel like you need to save for something special, partially because it’s pricey and partially because hand dyed yarn is just so freaking gorgeous.

Anyway, I am lucky enough to participate in the Hooked on Summer Pattern giveaway, hosted by Carroway Crochet, 2 weeks in a row and I decided that I wanted to design something new for the second week.

I recently bought some MadTosh Merino Light in color Dopamine, and I knew that I wanted to use this for my contribution to the giveaway.

Anyways, on to the pattern. The third week of the Hooked on Summer pattern giveaway takes place between July 17th and 23rd.  During this time, you can obtain a ad-free pdf copy of this and other patterns.
