This handmade crocheted shawl/ scarf was created by me, using a pattern called "Vintage Peach"designed by Carmen Heffeman This shawl has a triangular shape and is of ample size to wrap oneself in. The yarn is a high-quality Merino wool/ nylon blend, from Cascade Yarns, so is pretty cozy and has a lovely drape. It is a lighter weight yarn - and the airy stitch used resembles diamond shapes, or squares set on the diagonal. The stitch pattern is a lacy, more open work pattern, yet it is cozy when wrapped. This one will be hard for me to let go of - it's kind of a masterpiece!
This shawl is large - and is stunning when laid out. I included a photo of it all spread out when I was blocking it. Blocking is a step that is time-consuming, but absolutely essential in a pattern such as this one - to open up the lacy stitches.
This particular yarn features a lively variegated autumn color palette of auburn, russet, coral, olive, sage, and chartreuse. I knew when I received this yarn, it needed to be transformed into something special. I have edged the sides of this triangular shawl with a salmon-colored acrylic, which really puts out the fall shades. There is nothing more gorgeous than a mix of trees in the autumn - red maple, evergreen, and the bolder shades of sumac and aspen. I love this time of year with its vibrant colors - and this pretty shawl embodies that.
Being a nurse, I also think this would make a useful and unique "privacy cover" for breastfeeding mothers. Airy enough to not be smothering, yet allows for a bit of privacy during mealtime.
This pretty wrap measures 84" across the longer (top) edge. The length, measured from the middle of the top edge to the lowest point, is 33" It is happy to be loosely draped, or wrapped up tighter when the evening air is cooler. 2024
The yarn content of the main body of this wrap is 75% Superwash Merino Wool/ 25% Nylon. The edging is 100% Acrylic.I recommend you hand wash this accessory in cool water, mild detergent, roll it gently in a fluffy towel to absorb most of the moisture, and allow it to air dry.
I absolutely love the way this shawl turned out. It is colorful, yet elegant. This is a boho layer that will take you anywhere. Wrap it in any number of ways to add a bit of happy to a dull day. You could even fasten it with a vintage brooch, as I have shown in some of my photos. Brooch not included in this listing; however, visit my other Etsy shop (the link is below), "PamblersPlace", for vintage lovelies, including brooches.

This wrap is a one-of-a-kind creation (as all of my items are), so if you like this one, don't let it get away from you. This pretty wrap would make a wonderful gift for that special someone of your shopping list. After all, shawl and scarf accessories make great presents, because essentially, one size fits all.

I believe that everyone should be able to accessorize and wear gorgeous items every day, and that those items should be affordable. I love bright colors, but also draw my inspiration from the beauty of nature. All of my handmade freeform crochet scarves, hats, and accessories are my original designs, no pattern used - therefore, most often, they won't/can't be duplicated. Each one is lovingly and carefully created with quality yarns and attention to detail- I consider them fiber art.
