Honey Drip shawl - Asymmetrical crescent shawl crochet pattern for women

About the pattern

In this shawl, the elegant honeycomb pattern is used to create a crescent shape in an asymmetrical construction. Since the fabric is thick and cozy, it’s perfect for winter and for wearing as a shawl or as a triangle scarf.

The shawl is worked on the bias from one point and grows until you are satisfied with the size, longer and wider for a comfier shawl, shorter and lighter for a shawlette.

In a precious yarn, it’s perfect for a special occasion, as it can be worn around the shoulders, pinned with a brooch, with the ends left to coil up into pretty swirls.
