Crescent shawls are shawls with a unique shape. I love the name crescent because it reminds me of that phase of the moon where it is crescent shaped. It’s a beautiful and magical sight to behold. Crescent shaped shawls can be small or big, open and lacy, or tight and close stitches. They can also be crocheted as shawlettes and draping over the shoulder or longer to cover your back.
These crescent shawls in this pattern compilation show a variety of ways you can crochet the crescent shape. These shawls are also great for summer evenings, and perfect for cooler fall nights.

3. Skylark in Woodland by JessieAtHome
After designing the Skylark scarf, I had a few ideas for a spin~off pattern. The opportunity to bring life to the idea came when I was contacted by Frabjous Fibers to make a version using 2 of their mini~skein packs of Mad Hatter (sport weight). It was a perfect pairing, and I am madly in love with the result!
