Guess what! I had so much fun in our last two crochet a longs that I decided to host another. This time will we be making one of the existing patterns on the blog, the Desert Sunset Shawl. This is a beautiful mixed stitch shawl that only uses one cake of Lion Brands Mandala yarn.
Below you will find all the dates and materials needed for this Crochet A Long. I have also included a variety of alternative yarn options for this shawl.
For this Crochet A Long, I will be using Lion brand’s Cupcake in the colorway Street Lights. You can find the Desert Sunset Shawl Pattern on the blog, but to make this intermediate pattern a little more beginner-friendly I will be adding video tutorials to provide a better visual aid.
