Custom Butterfly Shawl Finished!

This was a very fun project to work on, and I think it turned out marvelously!

The Butterfly Shawl custom ordered, customer chose the colors, is about 7' wide. Lovingly crocheted in around 20 hours from a grid pattern.

It is warm and cozy, and quite the fashion statement.

I quite like it, and am deciding what colors to make one for myself in.

My son was kind enough to take these photos of me modeling the shawl before shipping it off to the UK.

The customer who ordered this shawl is a super sweet lady, and I hope she enjoys the finished product as much as the photo of it I sent her.

I've already started another butterfly shawl, and have designed up 3 different styles that I am looking forward to testing out and offering in my shop.

Custom Shawl in Progress

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I received an order for a shawl which I had posted as the cover photo on my Facebook page. The shawl was a gift I had made for my cousin which I wasn't actually planning on making more of, but was happy to do it when this customer contacted me. After discussing with her and workout out the logistics, I excitedly ran to Hobby Lobby to pick up the yarn. A lovely variety of black, white, lavender, and hot pink.

I grabbed my pattern and got started. After the first hour, here is how far I got. You can see the bottom tips of the butterfly starting.

 After 2 hours, much more of the lovely butterfly is showing, and more colors are introduced.

After 4 hours, the lower part of the butterfly wings are really starting to take shape.

I'm figuring it will take about 15 hours to complete, and I'm already thinking about what colors I want to do next, and have designed a couple different shawls to try out. I forgot how much fun this type of crochet is!
