I crocheted this shawl for a friend of mine using the corner to corner afghan tutorial from The Crochet Crowd, with 4 skeins of Caron Simply Soft yarn, and a 6mm hook.
I've made scarves with this pattern in the past, but this is the first time I've used a solid color yarn. with variegated yarn the focus is the patchwork of color, so I never noticed before the cool texture it makes!
instead of a rectangle or a square, I did a triangle. I just increased like the pattern says to, and when I thought it was long enough I simply didn't decrease back down to the other corner. I did a scallop around the two straight edges to match the "unfinished" long edge, but this is totally optional and I think I'd skip it if I did this one again.
if watching a video isn't your thing, here's a link to a written pattern provided by Artiamus Imura: Corner to Corner Triangle Shawl
