I love:
- Mexican blankets
- Serape
- Ripple crochet
- Triangular shawls
So why not combine it all I thought! And her she is: The Serape Ripple Shawl!
You can get the free photo tutorial below or support me by purchasing the ad-free printer-friendly PDF version of this pattern with charts and written instructions on Etsy or Ravelry.
My granddaughter loved the shawl so much as you can see in the pictures and asked me to make her one in her favorite color. So I also made a smaller one, in pink!
About the yarn
You can use any yarn you like with matching hook size! I had lots of Merino soft by Scheepjes left overs which I used up in this shawl, with hook 5mm. I used 650 grams in total, so 13 balls should be enough, but I used 38 colors to get the serape effect. You can get Merino soft here at Woolwarehouse. Using a good hook like a Clover hook will make a huge difference, Clover Amour is my favorite hook anyway but especially with yarn that is a bit splitty, I couldn’t do without my Clover hook.

Instructions:
Important:
Chain an odd multiple of 12. For the big one I chained 348, which is 29 x12 chains. For the smaller one I chained 180, which is 15 x 12 chains. Make sure you chain an odd multiple of 12! Otherwise the point of the shawl will end up differently.
From now on repeat row 3 – 6 and end with a row 3,then:
Fringes:
For each fringe cut 10 threads of 30 cm and knot it around the 2 chains at the beginning and end of each row.
