Who is ready for some spring makes? I have been itching to start using lighter weight yarns and create pieces that can carry me through spring into summer and beyond. The Wishing Well Shawl is perfect for that.
For this shawl I used Squid Sock from KTandthesquid’s Aviva Collection. My color choices were Chloe (main color), Danica, Slate, and Dawn. Don’t they remind you of a sunny spring sky? When choosing your yarn for this project, you will need 340 yards of your main color, and approximately 75 yards each of the three contrasting colors.
This shawl is made up of easy crochet stitches that combine to create a light and airy piece perfect for layering year round.
This shawl has a crescent shape, meaning it is quite long, and the ends are more narrow than the center. The shawl is worked from the top down. The only stitches you will use are beginner friendly stitches. So gather up your supplies – and let’s get to crocheting! Keep scrolling for the free pattern.
Just a reminder – you are of course welcome to sell finished items created with this pattern. I only ask that you credit Hooked Hazel with the original design. Do not use my photos to sell finished products. Do not copy, alter, or distribute this pattern.
I would appreciate your review on Etsy, Ravelry, or Instagram. Tag me in photos, and I may feature your project! Use the hashtags #hookedhazel and #wishingwellshawl to possibly be featured!

Bind off and weave in ends. Block as desired – When blocking, you may choose to pin the top edge straight, or embrace the natural curve. A more aggressive blocking will result in a larger and airier shawlette (15” deep), while a gentle blocking will result in a denser fabric.
