Beautiful Feminine Crochet Shawls
Ombre yarn is among the most beautiful inventions for modern textile designers. Strands of yarn are joined together in a way, which allows the color to gradually go from one to another, which is perfect for crochet shawls. Working with this kind of yarn is very easy, but it require a little planning.
It works best with one-piece designs, such as big shawls, blankets or tops worked in the round. You can find a lot of different yarn types that are ombre-looking, so choose according to what you want to make. There are also yarns that are speckled or dyed multicolored, such as t-shirt yarns. You can use them for making rugs or other home accessories. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.

It happens that we present several versions of the same pattern. This way we can all get inspired by different creators’ interpretation of classic crochet patterns.
