Crochet An Amazing Lace Wrap Shawl

When I first saw this shawl, I was immediately intrigued with the unusual shape of it. You can see that better in the second photo. I wasn’t quite sure how it would remain situation on my shoulders, but, as you can see from the second photo, the seemingly abstract shape is actually well balanced. I love the ripple effect edge that doesn’t require any special stitch work. I think it’s an amazing design.

As I browsed further through designer Sara’s site, Posh Pooch Designs, I found one interesting project after another. Free patterns, unique ideas, lots of goodies for pet lovers. This gal must spend all her waking hours designing and creating things for her animals and her humans! And, look how creative she is! I’m impressed.

I also liked the looks of the Linked Up Cowl. Of course, one could use any color combination desired, but I love the choices she has made. This would make a great gift for a fashionista or anyone living in a colder climate. Choose a really soft, plush yarn and you’ll have a cowl worthy of a queen (or me if you want to send it my way 😉

I’ve not included any of her pooch designs here because there are just too many of them. You can check them out for yourself. I’m sure you’ll be equally impressed with the variety of projects offered. And, not just for pooches. There are wash cloths, purses, and even a fanny pack. Not sure I’ve ever seen a pattern for a crocheted fanny pack. There’s plenty here to keep you browsing for quite a while. Check it out!

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
