It’s Shawl Good CHILD Size (12/14/16)
This size is the largest of the child sizes, but if you are making for a petite adult, this will also be the size for you! Here’s a short video of me modeling an adult size “medium”. All sizes are linked below, if you would like the printable file including ALL children’s sizes, you can find that on Ravelry here. Thank you!
The CHILD sizes for the It’s Shawl Good pattern are as follows:
Size 12 – 18 Month
Size 2/3T
Size 4/6
Size 6/8/10
Size 12/14/16 (this one)
Find the ADULT size of this pattern here.
Materials:
Crochet hook in size J/6mm
Size 3/lightweight/DK yarn (about 800 yards)
*Thin cotton suggested, such as Sugarwheel cotton cakes, Caron cotton cakes, or Bernat Baby Cotton.
Note! Lightweight acrylic CAN be used – like Lion Brand Cupcake (pictured here), or other lightweight “cake” yarns but the drape may not be as nice as the “weightier” lightweight/size 3 yarns listed above.
Gauge:
After row 6 the width of the piece should be about 7’’ and the height (from row 1 to the center stitch of row 6) should be about 4’’. See photo after row 6.
Pattern notes:
• Pattern written using US terms.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the center most stitch of each row.
• On the hdc rows, go around the ch-sp from the previous row instead of into the ch – it’s faster!
• Place first st of each row in same as turning. (the beginning chain does not count as a stitch)
• When counting stitches, make sure you count each triple crochet AND each chain stitch.
• Add a hook & eye closure, a button closure, a tie closure, or no closure at all.
• I have highlighted the parts that require more attention using RED.

Repeat rows 2 & 3: 7 times. If you would like to taper your sleeves, make two hdc decreases (hdc2tog) near the seam on the hdc rows only, starting at row 11. Do decreases for 2 – 3 successive hdc rows.
Finish off with a row of single crochet without turning. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
Add fringe (optional)
Make fringe (like this). Take 2 – 3 strands and attach them every other stitch along the bottom hem.
