Crochet Krose Knitting Rectangular Shawl: A Step-by-Step Tutorial


If you are a fan of crochet and knitting, you will surely be amazed by the beauty and versatility of the Krose stitch. This stitch creates a delicate, lacy texture that is perfect for shawls, scarves, and blankets. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a rectangular shawl using the Krose stitch.


Materials Needed:

- 2 skeins of worsted weight yarn (we used a soft, light-colored yarn for this project)

- Crochet hook (we used a size H/5mm hook)

- Scissors

- Tapestry needle


Step 1: Chain Stitch

To start, make a chain stitch that is a multiple of 4, plus 2. For our shawl, we chained 58 stitches.


Step 2: First Row

In the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet. *Skip the next 3 chains, then work a double crochet in the next chain. Chain 1, then work another double crochet in the same chain stitch.* Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with a single crochet in the last chain stitch.


Step 3: Second Row

Chain 4 (counts as a double crochet and chain 1), then turn your work. Work a single crochet in the first chain-1 space from the previous row. *Chain 1, then work a double crochet in the next chain-1 space. Chain 1, then work a single crochet in the next chain-1 space.* Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with a double crochet in the last single crochet stitch from the previous row.


Step 4: Repeat Rows

Repeat the second row until the shawl reaches your desired length. We made ours 68 rows long.


Step 5: Finishing

Once the shawl is the desired length, fasten off and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.


Step 6: Block the Shawl

To really make the Krose stitch stand out, block your shawl. Wet it with cool water, gently squeeze out the excess water, and then lay it flat on a towel. Use pins to gently stretch the shawl into shape, making sure the edges are straight and the stitch pattern is even. Let the shawl dry completely before removing the pins.


In conclusion, this Krose stitch rectangular shawl is a beautiful and versatile accessory that can be dressed up or down. Its delicate lacy texture is perfect for any occasion and is sure to turn heads wherever you go. Give it a try and see how easy it is to create such a stunning piece with just a few simple stitches.
