The Moonstone Shawl Crochet Pattern uses less than 150g of yarn! Using the V stitch makes this shawl quick to make. It’s a lightweight and airy shawl that’s perfect for spring.
I used almost one ball of Lion Brand Shawl in a Cake yarn to make this shawl. I love the gorgeous color changes and the thread of metallic in the yarn. It has a beautiful drape. Even though it’s worsted weight yarn, it feels very lightweight. You get the cute bulky look without the heaviness.

Thank you for the pattern.
Thank you!
Breann, I would love to make this shawl, however, I am stumped. I am not understanding how to start it. Can’t get passed Row 2. Help!!!!!
Hi! After row 1 you have 1 V stitch, (1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc). In Row 2, you will ch 3 and turn, (this is 1 dc so far) then you will make a V stitch in the ch space. Then dc in the last stitch, which is the top of the ch 3 (from the first ch you made). Hope this helps!
Love it!
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but my shawl is longer on one side than the other. I’m way over 60 rows. 73 rows. One side measures 46” and the other 48”. The long side is 58”. At first I thought if I kept going the other side would get longer but that was stupid bc both sides are getting longer. Any chance you might know what did wrong? I love the pattern and I have more yarn perfect for this pattern. Thanks for your help.
Hi! This shawl is asymmetrical. So one side will be longer than the other 🙂
That’s a relief, I’ve made two and thought I had done them wrong! It is a lovely, light shawl and quick to make.
Can I use no. 3 yarn? Do I change hook size? Thank you! Beautiful shawl!
love it, looks so soft and lacy
Thank you!
Hi Breann! I am trying to make this shawl, and I’m a bit confused by the pattern- where it says “dc into last stitch” is that referring to the chain 3 from the beginning of the last row? Do I crochet into the space or into the top chain? Or does that mean the last dc of the v-stitch that is there from the previous row?
I’m excited to get this one going!! It’s going to be gorgeous! Thank for the pattern!
Hi! Yes, it’s the ch from the previous row 🙂
I know V stitch, its my fave for throws… but this really confused me too… I don’t think its your instructions, I think maybe because I have never made a shawl or scarf like this, so was taking every instruction literally. This meant going back on the pattern to find where that “Chain 1” was, etc… I wonder if a diagram might help for the beginning section?
that confused me too…but that helps, I think 🙂
Hey lad, Iam quite fond of the writings on your website. They are organized cleanly, easy to consume and understand, regardless of English being my 2nd language. Wish you well.
Thank you so much!
Hi Breann
I love your pattern
Just wondering If it ends up as not a “perfect” triangle
That’s Ok with me but not sure that I am following right as I am only increasing v stitches on one side (row 5)
Thanks so much
Erin
Hi! You’re right, it will not be a perfect triangle. It will be asymmetrical 🙂
Hi! I am looking at this pattern (and have been for 2 days) with hook and yarn ready but I am stumped!! I feel like I am missing something! I don’t even get how to start it! For row 1….. I see it says ch5, but then says dc in the 5th from hook and has (1vstitch) in the parenthesis. Why is 1 v stitch in there and not just written, is this telling me there will be 1 v stitch after doing the dc or that i need to make a v stitch? I honestly have no clue why this pattern is kicking my booty but I need to know how to actually start it….. for dummies lol!! Please help!?!?
For the first row you have 1 dc + ch 4. This is a V stitch and the end of the row. The (1 V stitch) is the end of row count 🙂
Is there a way to use this stitch pattern in a rectangle instead of a triangle? Maybe it’s as simple as a long chain, then doing a 2 or 3 row repeat, but I can’t figure it out. Can you help?
Hi! You’ll need to chain a mult of 3 + 2. Here’s row 1: dc in 5th ch from the hook, (ch 4 counts as dc + ch 1) *skip 2 stitches, v stitch in next* repeat from * to * across to last 3 stitches, skip 2, dc in last
