Tips for Crocheting Shawls and Wraps
Choose the right fiber/yarn weight.
Choosing the right yarn weight can determine the outcome of your shawl. Worsted weight yarn is one of the most common types to use, but I like to use a nice number four or medium weight yarn. The exact type of yarn you choose to use depends on the purpose of your shawl. A lighter weight yarn is going to make a more delicate shell, whereas a thicker yarn is going to make a warmer shawl. You can still enjoy beautiful yarn but have it be warm as well if that is the direction you want to head.
Keep track of stitches and repeats with markers and row counters.
If it makes it easier on you, you can use a stitch marker to help keep track of where you are. Otherwise simply pay attention to the stitching pattern, so that you know which parts of the pattern to repeat and where to make your stitches.
How to achieve a professional finish.
With the corner-to-corner crochet stitch pattern, it’s very important that you finish the crocheted shawl with the finishing row. This will give you a nice professional finish look to the crocheted shawl. It is also important that you keep your yarn tension even as you work your stitches. This will also help to give you a nice professional look when the shawl is done.
What crochet hook size to use?
What crochet hook size you decide to use will depend on what yarn you select to make the crocheted shawl pattern out of, as well as your stitching tightness. For example, I tend to stitch a little bit tighter than other people, so I try to use a slightly larger hook than necessary. Feel free to adjust your hook size depending on what type of your new use, and how loose or tight your crochet stitches are turning out.

How many hours it takes to crochet a shawl depends on how much time you have to dedicate to your crochet project. When I was making mine, it took me several days. But this crochet stitch pattern works up quickly, so it might not take you very long to finish.
How much yarn do I need to crochet a shawl?
It is best to make sure you have plenty of yarn. How much you will need depends on how big you want the finished shawl to be.
