  • Spanish Moss Shawl
    SPANISH MOSS SHAWL Designed and woven by John Mullarkey Overview: Inspired by a gift skein of sock yarn from a friend, and enhanced by not being able to find the same dye lot, this shawl was woven with a Zoom Loom and joined with crochet. The color and drape reminded me of the Spanish moss I saw hanging in trees when I lived in East Texas. Difficulty rating: Easy weaving with crochet join Size: 70” width; short edges 50” Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy (450yds/4 oz.), Cloud Jungle, 1 skein (MC). Dream in Color Smooshy, either a different dye lot of Cloud Jungle, or a different but analogous colorway (CC). Crochet thread, #10 (350 yards), black or coordinating color. Other notions, equipment or tools: size 6 crochet hook; tapestry or yarn needle; scissors. Weaving and Assembly: ■ Weave 56 squares using the Zoom Loom in color MC. Work in all ends as you weave. ■ Weave 22 squares in color CC. Work in all ends as you weave. Total of 78 squares woven. ■ Using the layout chart below, join the squares by crochet- ing a single crochet (sc) in each loop pair. ■ Chain (ch) 3, sc in loop pair of adjoining square using cro- chet thread. ■ Repeat above for all rows and columns of squares. ■ After all squares have been joined, crochet a border of sc in loop pair, ch 3 around. You may want to do ch 2 where cor- ners meet to tighten up the joined edges. Finishing: Hand wash in lukewarm water. Roll in a towel to remove excess water.
