Crochet Pattern: Justine Shawl

Justine Shawl, free #crochet pattern by Underground CrafterThis post contains affiliate links. Yarn for the sample was generously provided by Malabrigo.

Last year, I fell in love with a skein of Malabrigo Sock at my local yarn shop, Knitty City. That yarn was eventually transformed into the Picnic Basket Shawl, and when I reached out to Malabrigo, they agreed to sponsor the crochet-a-long with some great prizes.
And, they added a little prize into the box for me, too.

Justine Shawl, free #crochet pattern by Underground CrafterOnce I had this beautiful Malabrigo Lace in my hands, I knew it was going to be another shawl. It just took me a few months to figure out what shawl it was meant to be.

Justine Shawl free crochet pattern by Underground Crafter 2The Justine Shawl (named after my sister, who I gifted the sample to) is a variation on the Ella’s Rhythm Shawl. Like Ella’s Rhythm, it’s a “recipe” style pattern. You can use your favorite crochet hook and work this pattern until it reaches your preferred size. (I happen to think it looks perfect in the Malabrigo Lace, though!)

Justine Shawl, free #crochet pattern by Underground CrafterThis is a beginner-friendly pattern using simple stitches but an unusual construction. If you find the pattern confusing, you may want to check out the video tutorial for the Ella’s Rhythm Shawl (at the end of the pattern) because this is constructed the same way.
