Edited: Correction made to row 119 (7 October 2021)
Can you believe it’s nearly the end of August? I suppose the summer can be a busy time which makes the weeks fly by, and it means it’s time for Week 3 of the Lammas Day Crochet-Along.
If you are brand new to the CAL you can find all the information you need on the CAL landing page, where I’ll link all the CAL posts in one place as I add them here to the blog. If you want to join in the CAL using the same yarn I did I have put together a list of stockists on a previous post.
During the duration of the CAL this pattern will be released part by part here on the blog, after the full CAL has finished there will be a FREE PDF ebooklet available on the Anchor Crafts website (link to follow).
I hope you are ready to start Part 3 where we will continue our triangular shape as we plough another field and start to watch our spikes of wheat become heavy with their ears of grain.
Lammas Day CAL: Part 3 – Bringing in the Wheat
Yarn: Anchor Organic Cotton (4ply)
The amount listed below is the amount required to make the whole Lammas Day Shawl
- 5 x 50g / 125 m Organic Cotton: 00105 (Natural) – YARN A
- 1 x 50g / 125 m Organic Cotton: 00178 (Sunflower) – YARN B
- 2 x 50g / 125 m Organic Cotton: 00103 (Rocky Orange) – YARN C
- 2 x 50g / 125 m Organic Cotton: 00338 (Red Dunes) – YARN D
- 1 x 50g / 125 m Organic Cotton: 00038 (Earthy Brown) – YARN E
Hook: You will need a 3.75mm (US size F/5) for this shawl. I have hooks, and other useful crochet tools, linked in my Amazon Store if this is something you need.
You will also need: Scissors, A yarn needle and stitch markers (mine were from Mrs G Makes).
Gauge: 5htr = 2.5cm (1inch). Gauge is not critical for this design, with each part I will provide the size of my work. If your gauge does not meet mine it will just mean you will end up with a bigger or smaller shawl and will possibly use more or less yarn than quoted as a consequence. If you wish to match my gauge you might try going up a hook size if your tension is quite tight, or going down a hook size if your tension is looser.
Finished Size:
If you need a reminder of the shawl schematic you can find it on the CAL Planning post.

PATTERN NOTES
- This pattern is for a triangular shawl that will now decrease with each row; decreases are made on one side only.
- Add a stitch marker on the decrease side, moving it onto the row as you work to help mark decrease side.
- You may also find it useful to add a stitch marker in the first stitch and the last stitch of each row.
- Check st counts at the end of each row to keep on track
- Keep any turning ch’s on the start of each row fairly loose so it doesn’t pull your work too tightly
