I can’t believe they’re done, and I made them! I bought this crochet pattern by Crafty Intentions on Etsy a year ago because I stumbled across it and wanted my own wing shawl so badly!
Only one problem: I didn’t know how to crochet.
And so the PDF sat in my inbox for an entire year.
Then, earlier this summer I finally got around to teaching myself the basics of crochet and how to read a pattern.
This is my second crochet project following a pattern 😬 - that’s what hyper focus and a dream will do for you!
I used a wool and acrylic blend, worsted weight yarn in three different shades of brown.
This pattern was fantastic. Each feather felt like an accomplishment, and everything was so well explained, it came together just naturally. All in I think it took around 50 hours over 3 weeks.
The wings are over 6’ long! And the bottom two rows of feathers are bordered with single crochet in the color of the row above it. I didn’t border the top row.
I love how they came out, it’s wonderfully heavy and I feel like some sort of great owl witch in it which is a vibe I can get behind.
Also many thanks to my 5yo for the photoshoot and taking these great pictures of mama! ❤️
