Last May, I was getting ready to visit with my family in New Jersey, and planning on a project to take with me. While at JoAnn’s, I stopped to look at the Bernat’s Softee Baby Cotton, as I did pretty much every time prior to this visit. I’ve always wanted to try it, but was either not in a financial position to, or couldn’t think of what I’d use it for. This time, I envisioned this shawl when I saw the colors together, so in my basket it went as well as in my luggage.
This shawl wasn’t a project I worked on a lot, and when the holidays came, it was put on the back burner, then there was the matter of running out of the cream yarn… JoAnn’s had been out of the cream a couple of my visits, and when I finally was able to grab another ball, I had lost steam on the project.
Recently though, I looked at it sitting on my desk, and was determined to get it finished up. As soon as I weaved in the last end, I grabbed my tripod, and headed down to the lake to take the photos.
The sky was black, but the breeze was gorgeous, and I had some fun getting my photos, even while racing against mother nature (which I lost because it started raining on me while I was down there).

Materials:
- 1,175 Yards of Lightweight Yarn – I used Bernat’s Softee Baby Cotton in Aqua Mist (Blue; 310 Yards), Duckling (Yellow; 310 Yards) and Cotton (Cream; 555 Yards)
- H8/5mm Crochet Hook
- Tapestry Needle
Material Notes:
This shawl was designed in a cotton blend, which is heavier with flat, more defined stitches – characteristics of the cotton fiber. If worked in another fiber, like wool or acrylic, it will come out smaller in size. To follow the same exact pattern, go up a hook size or use worsted weight yarn.
Softee Baby Cotton is also a heavier lightweight yarn. Yarn Alternatives Similar to Softee Baby Cotton: Cascade’s Sarasota Yarn, Berroco’s Modern Cotton (#4), and Lion Brand’s Comfy Cotton.
Measurements:
15″ Tall by 60″ Wide
Gauge:

Abbreviation (US):

Pattern Notes:
This pattern is written with colors and boxes only. If you would like more details on how to work the corner to corner technique, check out myHow to C2C in DCphoto tutorial.
Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet.
A box is comprised of four double crochet’s.
Working the final double crochet into the top of the chain from the previous row helps to keep the edge more even. After completing the first box, you may also need to lightly tug on it to keep it even as well.
