Raindrop Reverie

The stitch pattern on the Raindrop Reverie Shawl evokes warm evening rain showers. The raindrops slide down the shawl and drip to the floor. That final drip represented by that long crocheted loop. There’s a knitted cast-off version too. The Raindrop Reverie shawl is the same construction as my other pattern, Heddle, and it is a very simple top-down shawl that’s scalable. In other words, the pattern repeat can be worked any number of times, so you can knit the pattern to the length that your yarn quantity will stretch to.
