Create a one-of-a-kind crochet shawl with our Slightly Off pattern. This asymmetrical triangular shawl is both elegant and easy to crochet. With a slightly lacy stitch pattern, it is a perfect canvas for any embellishments that you may want to add. Whether you go for a classic look or you want to make a bold statement with brighter colors, this pattern is sure to create an eye-catching piece.

I had this kooky idea for another asymmetrical pattern and so I gave it a go. It didn’t turn out quite the way I thought it was going to, but I really like it. Due to the increases being different on each side, the center line is “Slightly Off” – just like me! 🙂 I hope you enjoy this shawl. It was fun to make and is fun to wear. I like centering the center line down my back, draping the shorter side over my shoulder, and then wrapping the longer side around my neck and securing with a shawl pin.
