This lovely shawl is a quick and easy work-up that results in a beautiful and heartfelt gift. Crocheted in only chains and single crochets, this deceptively simple pattern creates a woven-look fabric with alternating rows of background and foreground color changes. A clever hack lets you do exactly one row of each color, which results in a gorgeous mélange of subtle, textured striping.
