Introducing the “Circle of Love Shawl” Crochet Pattern
Learn to Make a Circular Shawl 3 different ways.
This pattern is Awesome! Let me tell you why.
First, it is an easy 1-row repeat after the setup row. Total mindless chill crocheting!
Second, you can make this as a Full Circle, a 3/4 Circle or a Half Circle shawl.
Third, since it is worked from the top-down (or inside to outside) you can make it as a mini shawlette or into a full giant wrap.
Lastly, you can make this with ANY yarn and ANY hook size you desire. So easy to make and beautiful to wear!

- Half Circle Shawl work 6 sections
- The section end stitches (DC – SE) are always worked normally into the previous DC of the prior row.

- Overall the shawl will increase by this much in each row:
