Why choose the Flutter Around Crochet Square and Shawl Pattern?

This dramatic and romantic shawl cloaks the wearer in a cloud of dazzling butterflies. It’s an eye-catching element for your wardrobe that provides warmth to your shoulders on cool summer evenings.

The fun stitches and simple construction make this an interesting, yet relaxing make and the butterfly motifs are an excellent portable project to carry with you on the go. This make also offers the chance for stash-busting to use small quantities of your favourite leftover yarn scraps in the butterfly wings, turning your shawl into an album of your favourite craft memories. Did you spot in the photos, that careful placement (layout provides in pattern) means the butterlies are always upright on the shawl?

In addition, the square works up in aran/worsted yarn to 15cm/6”  a popular size for crochet square designs and the Flutter Around Squares can be used alongside any others of the same size in sampler blankets, bags, cushions or whatever you like to make with crocheted squares.

Creating the Flutter Around Crochet Square and Shawl Pattern

CAUTION: Don't follow this chart; it was very much a work in progress and changed a lot for the final pattern!

I worked on the sample during my children's summer holiday, so we had days out by public transport and lots of times where I was watching them in playgrounds before finally travelling to visit family for a week and it was a perfect travel project; although the finished piece is long, the lightweight yarn meant it was very compact and easy to carry about or work on in the car, bus or train. The easy, repetitive stitch pattern meant I was able to carry on with my crochet whilst catching up with friends and family or watching the children enjoy the sunny weather in the parks and playgrounds we visited.

I was delighted with the yarn too. Cascade Ultra Pima was very smooth and has a great sheen which worked really well for this design.

Getting to wear the finished project was lovely. It's so pretty and perfect for the end of summer when you want just a little extra cover!
