Picnic Basket Shawl Crochet Along Week 3

Rectangular Pineapple Shawl Crochet Pattern by Underground Crafter

his variation on the pineapple motif reminds me of a little picnic basket, and this shawl is light enough to pack in your picnic basket in case it gets chilly! This pattern is part of the Picnic Basket Shawl Crochet Along. This week’s clue includes Rows 7-9.

Finished Size
