Jayden's Shawlette - A Free Crochet Pattern by ELK Studio

Here are the pattern instructions for Jayden’s Shawl in Adult sizes. I originally designed this pattern for my grandchildren but thought it would be fun for the adult to wear too!

I’ve debated on how to write this pattern out for better clarity and since this is MY blog, I’m going to write each one separately. I feel that it will be easier for a beginner to read the pattern instructions. So…..if you have lots of experience bear with me and just do a little scrolling. 🙂

You can also wear this as a cowl!! Jayden's Shawlette - A Free Crochet Pattern by ELK Studio

Notes:
I did the pattern using several different options for color patterns. The pattern as written will not reflect the color changes but once you finish the collar, you can do 2 repeating rows of each color or 3 repeating rows of each color. You may have to add or take away a row to get the correct sequence.

Be aware that in the instructions you will be told to sl st at the end of each round but there will also be instructions to sl st at the beginning of the round too on some parts of the instructions. If you are making color changes, don’t change your color until you make the LAST sl st. For example on the small size pattern, Round 8 has sl st at the end of the pattern instructions, but on Round 9 you will sl st in the first two stitches. I wouldn’t change my color until I was ready to sl st in the 2nd st on Round 9.
