Lacy Shawl Crochet Tutorial – Try It in Cotton or Wool!

This week, I’m excited to share a beautiful lacy shawl pattern with you! While the tutorial is new, the design itself is not completely new—some of you might recognize it from a shawl I made back in 2020.

That original version was worked using one cake of YarnArt Flowers, a soft gradient yarn that’s 55% cotton and 45% acrylic. It comes in a wide variety of stunning colorways, and the one I used was color number 260. 

Each cake is 250g (or approximately 1,094 yards)—plenty for a full-sized shawl. You can still find this yarn on Amazon, and it's a great choice if you're looking for a light and airy summer wrap.

For this new tutorial, I wanted to try something different. I used a blend of acrylic and wool: Alize Angora Gold, which is 80% acrylic and 20% wool. 

I was curious to see how the same lace pattern would look and feel in a completely different yarn, and I’m really happy with the result! Honestly, I can’t even decide which one I like better—the light, summery cotton version or the warm, cozy wool blend.

Just to be clear, the pattern is exactly the same in both shawls, and it's available for purchase in my Etsy and Ravelry shops.

And if you'd like to try before you buy, you can watch the full step-by-step tutorial for free on my YouTube channel!

I want to say a huge thank you to all of you who have purchased this pattern—your support means the world to me. And a special shoutout to everyone who’s taken the time to leave a review and share a photo of their finished project!

The finished measurements of the blue version (made with Alize Angora Gold) are approximately 68 inches wide by 30 inches long. I used about 155 grams of yarn, which is just over one and a half skeins (each skein is 100g).

The 20% wool content does mean the yarn might feel a little scratchy or itchy for those sensitive to wool. However, I’ve found that washing and blocking makes a big difference. 

Keep in mind that even though this shawl has an open, lacy design, the wool content makes it quite warm—perfect for cooler days. 

If you’re looking for a truly lightweight version ideal for summer, I recommend going with YarnArt Flowers or another cotton blend.

That’s all for today’s post! I hope you enjoy the new tutorial and find inspiration in trying this pattern with different yarns. Whether you go for light and breezy or soft and cozy, I think you’ll love the result.

Happy crocheting!

Lacy Cupcakes Baby Blanket – Now a Free Video Tutorial!

Today, I’m so happy to share a special project with you — the Lacy Cupcakes Baby Blanket. I originally designed this sweet and lacy baby blanket back in 2018, and it’s been available ever since as a written pattern in both my Etsy and Ravelry shops.

But now, I’ve decided to make the pattern available as a free video tutorial as well! 

The version of the blanket was part of a recent commission, and I truly enjoyed making it. In fact, I crocheted several baby items for this order, and as always, there’s something very heartwarming about making pieces for a new baby. Whether it’s a tiny hat or a delicate ruffled blanket, creating for little ones brings a special kind of joy.

I want to take a moment to say a big thank you to everyone who has purchased this pattern in the past — your support means so much to me and my family. 

It’s also so much fun to see your finished creations! Some of you have shared photos and reviews of your Lacy Cupcakes blankets made in different colors, yarns, and personal variations — I absolutely love seeing how you’ve made the pattern your own.

Yarn & Sizing Details

In my original written pattern, I used:

• Category 3 yarn (100% acrylic) - Snuggly Wuggly by Loops & Threads

• Hook size G (4.25 mm)

• The finished size came out to be 38 inches long by 31 inches wide

For the version in the video tutorial, I used:

• Category 4 yarn – Pound of Love by Lion Brand

• Hook size I (5.5 mm)

• The finished size is approximately 44 inches long by 38 inches wide, using the same stitch count as in the original

So if you're wondering whether the pattern works with different yarn weights — it absolutely does! Both variations look lovely, and you can choose whichever suits your needs or the yarn you have on hand.

👉 Note: My camera picks up colors a bit differently depending on the sunlight. When it's sunny, the blanket looks more pink, while under clouds it appears more lavender — but it’s the same blanket!

Again, thank you so much to everyone who’s supported my designs — whether by purchasing patterns, watching my tutorials, or sharing your work. I hope this new video version of the Lacy Cupcakes Baby Blanket makes the pattern even more accessible and fun for everyone.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the free video tutorial here, and let me know if you give the blanket a try. I’d love to see your version! 

Happy crocheting!
