Breath of Life Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern

I love making accessories, but when temps get warm it’s harder to work with yarn. The new Breath of Life shawl is the perfect pattern for spring ro summer because it uses lightweight yarn. This gorgeous shawl will be introduced as a CAL and will run for approx. 3 weeks. I’d love for you to join us! You can find current updates, as well as project photos, in my Facebook group.

 


The Breath of Life Shawl was originally done as a CAL in my FB group. To get the other parts of the pattern visit the links below.
