Elegant Two-Yarn Crochet Shawl Pattern

This beautiful shawl combines two different yarns to create a rich texture and stunning visual effect. To ensure all pattern rows face the same direction, you’ll need to cut the yarn at the end of each row. This results in many loose threads, but don’t worry—wait until after you’ve crocheted the border to weave them in, as the edging provides more space to hide them neatly.
