In part 2 of the Lupine Shawl we will start making the actual Lupine Shawl.
If you’ve missed out on all the the details (like supplies, stitches used, and the gauge) you can get them all HERE (or the image below).
You ready to get in to it? Ok, here we go!
I’ve included photos of what your Lupine Shawl should look like after each of the first 5 rows.
I’m not going to lie to you, these first few rows will be the hardest rows for you. Getting into the rhythm of how to start and finish each row along with where to place the stitches takes some getting use to. You will do fine because once you’ve done it the few times it will be second nature.
Pattern
You’re going to want to start with a Magic Circle. I know that there are some of us who have difficulty with this technique. I’ve been doing it for so long that I can’t start my Lupine Shawl without doing it. I’ve tried.
Row 1.) In MC, 5Tr, Ch 2, 5Tr. (10)
Row 2.) Turn, (Str, Tr, Ch 1, Tr) in 1st St, *Ch 1, Sk 1, Tr, repeat from * until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from *until last St, (Tr Ch 1, 2Tr) in last St. (20)
Row 3.) Turn, (Str, Tr, Ch 1, Tr) in 1st St, Ch 1, Sk 1, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, Ch 1, Sk 1, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until last St, (Tr, Ch 1, 2Tr) in last St. (30)
Tip – The Tr goes into the Ch 1 of the previous row.
Row 4.) Turn, (Str, Tr, Ch 1, Tr) in 1st St, *Ch 1, Sk 1, Tr, repeat from * until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until last St, (Tr, Ch 1, 2Tr) in last St. (40)
Row 5.) Turn, (Str, 3Tr) in 1st St, Tr in next St and across until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, Tr in next St and across until last St, (4Tr) in last St. (50)
Your Lupine Shawl should look similar to the picture below after Row 5. If you’re using hand-dyed yarn or a different color, you’ll want to switch skeins at the end of this row.
Row 6.) Turn, (Str, 3Tr) in 1st St, Tr in next St and across until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, Tr in next St and across until last St, (4Tr) in last St. (60)
Row 7.) Turn, (Str, Tr, Ch 1, Tr) in 1st St, Ch 1, Sk 1, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, Ch 1, Sk 1, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until last St, (Tr, Ch 1, 2Tr) in last St. (70)
Row 8.) Turn, (Str, Tr, Ch 1, Tr) in 1st St, *Ch 1, Sk 1, Tr, repeat from * until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until last St, (Tr, Ch 1, 2Tr) in last St. (80)
Row 9.) Turn, (Str, Tr, Ch 1, Tr) in 1st St, Ch 1, Sk 1, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, Ch 1, Sk 1, *Tr, Ch 1, Sk 1, repeat from * until last St, (Tr, Ch 1, 2Tr) in last St. (90)
Row 10.) Turn, (Str, 3Tr) in 1st St, Tr in next St and across until Ch 2 Sp, (2Tr, Ch 2, 2Tr) in Ch 2 Sp, Tr in next St and across until last St, (4Tr) in last St. (100)
Like at the end of Row 5, if you changed yarn, you’ll want to change skeins again. I would also advice to weave in the ends as you go. It is much easier to do it as you go but if you’re anything like me you’ll wait until the end and bitch about it.

You’re going to love the Winter Hills Cellphone Bag this summer! It is the perfect accessory to have with the cute outfit that doesn’t have pocket (yes – all we want is pockets).
****Post contains affiliate links – which means if you make a purchase from the links below, I will get a small percentage of the sales at no additional cost to you****
The yarn that I used for the Winter Hills Cellphone Bag is Lion Brand’s 24/7 Cotton in colorways Café Au Lait & Ecru.
This was my first time using this yarn. I really enjoyed using it, I am slightly disappointed with the selection of colors that Joann’s has in store though.
Julie of J2CraftworksLLC tested the Winter Hills Cellphone Bag for me. She used the colorways Denim and Ecru for hers featured in the photo below.
Ch – Chain Dc – Double Crochet Sc – Single Crochet Sl St – Slip Stitch St(s) – Stitch(es) RS – Right Side WS – Wrong Side
Gauge & Finished Size(s)
Gauge: 20 Sts x 20 rows = 4”

Pattern Notes

Worked in the round.
Ch1 does not count as a stitch.
Color change is done on the repeat of round 3.
Tip – carry yarn along the inside of bag if changing colors.
Tip – to keep a neat edge, do the Ch 1 of round and then pick up the new color. This will also keep the yarn on the inside of the bag.

Welcome to the Lupine Shawl Crochet-Along! Over the next 7 posts we will be making the beautiful Lupine Shawl.
I’ve separated the Lupine Shawl into 6 parts so it is easy to follow along and you won’t be so overwhelmed with making it.
In Part 1 we will go over all the supplies and information you’ll need to make the Lupine for yourself, because this is a project that you’ll want to keep. I’ll also give you instructions on how to do your gauge swatch.

Supplies Needed
To make this beautiful triangle shawl you will need the following:
I worked with Joanna of High Desert Yarn on creating a special colorway specifically for this Crochet-Along. We threw so many ideas at each other. I think the end result is the perfect marriage of our ideas.
The Lupine Colorway gives me all the “summer” vibes. The purples, greens, and blues within the yarn make me think of fields of wildflowers along the road while taking a road-trip.
The Lupine Shawl used just a few stitches to make a wonder lacy summer shawl. They include the following:
Ch – Chain
MC – Magic Circle
Sc – Single Crochet
Sk – Skip
Sp(s) – Space(s)
St(s) – Stitch(es)
Str – Starting Treble Crochet
Tr – Treble Crochet
Stitch Definition:
Starting Treble Crochet – (also known as Long Chain Treble Crochet or Chainless Starting Treble Crochet.) Pull up your loop to the height of your usual Treble Crochet. Yarn over twice, insert into the 1st St, yarn over, pull through the Stitch, yarn over, pull through two loops on the hook, yarn over, pull through two loops on the hook yarn over, pull through the remaining two loops on your hook.
I’ve enjoyed using the Chainless Starting Double Crochet from Tamara Kelly of Moogly in the past and it can easily be used for a Starting Treble Crochet.
Finished Size
The finished size of the Lupine Shawl is:
Before Blocking – 60” wide x 30” tall After Blocking – 70″ wide x 35″ tall
Blocking your finished shawl helps open up the lace work and border. It looks just as nice without blocking.
Gauge
I had the following gauge when I made the Lupine Shawl:
20 Sts x 7 Rows of Tr = 4”
Swatch
Ch 35
Row 1.) Tr in 5th Ch from the hook (Ch4 counts as Tr) and each Ch across. (32)
Rows 2-10.) Turn, Str in first St, Tr in next St and St across. (32)
In the middle of the swatch you should have 20 Tr in 4″; 7 rows should also measure 4″.
By doing the gauge swatch you can get a little practice using the Str.
Your gauge doesn’t have to be EXACTLY the same. If it is slightly off, your final yardage and finished size will be different.
Pattern Notes
The following tips and information might be helpful when making your Lupine Shawl:
Written in US crochet terms.
Blocking finished shawl isn’t necessary but advised.
The Str can be substituted with a Ch 4.
A stitch count is provided at the end of each row.
I changed skeins every 5 rows to use the skeins evenly and to make any variations in the yarn to be less noticeable.
Part 2
Part 2 of the Lupine Shawl Crochet-Along is now available and we will cover the first section of the pattern.
