Selene Hooded Shawl

"The Selene Hooded Shawl is a relaxed, open-front crochet shawl designed for easy layering. Constructed from two rectangular panels that are seamed together at the back, this ensures the stitch pattern falls the right way up at both fronts. An optional hood is worked onto the neckline and shaped with simple decreases before being folded and seamed. The result is a comfortable, wearable crochet shawl with a softly textured finish. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS Aran/Worsted (weight #4) yarn; approx. 1315 yds 5mm crochet hook Stitch Markers Dressmaking Pins (back seam) Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE approx. 57” wide x 28” long Designed to fit a wide range of body sizes when worn open as a shawl.
