Easy pattern, works up fast, very fun. I made one and I'm already planning on making several more. It's one of those patterns that you will definitely reach for when your fingers itch to crochet something pretty but don't know what to make. Great for crocheting while watching TV or listening to your favorite podcast, too! Love it!

Thank you for your creativity with this pattern and video. I have made several Cakes & Candles shawls as prayer shawls for our church and will be making many more. Thanks again, Dena in Nebraska City, Nebraska.

UK newbie 😀👍

I am a newbie to crochet, living in the UK, I found secret yarnery on YouTube and loved the cakes and candles shawl, being new and a "golden oldie" I found trying to look listen and follow a bit much, other newbies don't be put off at all, my brain needs much time these days lol, so I did "another new to me" thing, I ordered the written pattern from the web site, took a few attempts, but I got there in the end, and so pleased I did, light bulb moment for me was seeing the written pattern, then watching the video, then starting to hook. I am now enjoying making this lovely shawl, for UK peeps I am using Batik yarn on size 6 hook, I found the 5 made my work curl, but that may have been due to my stitches being tight, ?6 works for me.best wishes to everyone barbara

Loving this pattern?

Your next make is waiting!

Every Secret Yarnery pattern is written in plain English, with no confusing abbreviations, so once you finish this one there is always another easy project ready for your hook.

Pair it with a cozy blanket, a granny square, a Drunken Granny, a sweater or shawl, a bag or basket, or a pretty crochet flower. Most come with step-by-step video tutorials for lefties and righties.
