Z. Solomon’s Knot Fine Crochet Shawl (CH0330)

Sometime last year (2013) I saw a photo on Facebook that got me itching to attempt a fine crochet shawl done in Solomon’s Knot.

This crochet shawl was done in crochet stitch: Solomon’s Knot.  You can find the how-to of the Solomon’s Knot in my Crochet Stitches – Pictorial Library. One of the beauties of this crochet shawl is the diversity of styles in accommodates.

I had some very fine wool (100% pure wool) and it makes for a very fine and refined shawl. The Solomon’s Knot crochet stitch is not hard to do.  But being such a fine yarn, it does take a looooog time!

And this is the photo I saw on Facebook last year that provided the basic idea for this fine crochet shawl.

Basic Steps to Make Crochet Shawl

Optional: If you want to have beads or sequins (as the crochet shawl here), then thread in the beads and/or sequins before you commence the crochet work.

Chain stitch as foundation.  Long enough to comfortably go round shoulder-width, keeping in ming that there will be a “twist” when joining together to finish.  Which means it will take some more length than if it was just a straight “tube”.

Once there basic rectangle piece is done, finish off.

To create the “twist”, join pieces so that A1 joins to A2; B1 to B2.
