The Telling Shawl is a traditional crochet crescent shawl that uses gentle shaping to create a shallow yet generous silhouette. The curved shape sits securely around the shoulders without adding too much bulk around the neck, making this a comfortable layering shawl and transitional piece.
Intentional two-color striping influences the design’s name and creates a pleasant sense of progression. The color bands gradually expand as the shawl grows until the contrasting color gently overtakes the shawl. The combination of stripes and stitches gives that “just one more row” feeling we all crave, keeping the project engaging but far from basic.
The Telling Shawl is perfect for advanced beginners and crocheters comfortable with the basics and ready to go beyond the single crochet stitch.
The Telling Shawl was designed by Natalie Thomas of Detroit Knots. You can find her information on our pattern artist page HERE.
Marcie is wearing the Telling Shawl in the Tapestry Kit with Kennicott & Folklore on DK. The Telling Shawl can be made with any of our DK weight yarns.

Bad Sheep Yarn strives to represent the true colors of our yarn in the photos we post. We also work hard to make sure that larger orders are in the same color batch. In spite of all this, please keep in mind when ordering that each batch is done by human hands; and that some computer monitors have different light settings. Our ultimate goal is to create something beautiful, as close to the photo as we can, just for you.
