The Sydney Shawl is a simple and fun asymmetrical shawl pattern that has an easy repeat and is great for self striping yarn or your favorite solid color!

You can work this to be any length you desire, and wear it as a crochet scarf, shawl, or wrap!

Pattern Inspiration

For this crochet shawl pattern, I wanted an asymmetrical shape. I love making triangle scarves that are symmetrical, but this time I wanted something different.

I decided on one simple stitch for this pattern. The Herringbone Half Double Crochet stitch is so nice and provides a great texture.

Pattern Details

This easy crochet shawl pattern is made using DK #3 weight yarn. I used Paintbox Yarns Simply DK for my shawl.

Simply DK is a really nice acrylic yarn. It is 100% acrylic, can be machine washed and dried, and comes in a large variety of colors. It is very cozy and comfortable and I love to use it for wearables.

You will need up to 600 yards of DK weight yarn for this shawl.

This pattern is rated Easy in pattern difficulty. It uses one stitch throughout the pattern with simple increases in each row.
