Sweet Shoppe Easy Crochet Asymmetrical Shawl
The Sweet Shoppe Easy Crochet Asymmetrical Shawl is the perfect project for those of you who are looking for something a little bit different. The color possibilities are endless. The colors of this shawl remind me of stepping into a sweet shoppe. Imagine stepping into an old-fashioned candy store. I can just see macarons stacked on tiered trays, cookies frosted with pastel colors, chocolate covered strawberries, jars of colored taffy, large rainbow swirl lollipops pops on sticks, and fancy pastries decorated with fillings and frostings.
