What Is an Asymmetrical Scarf?
An asymmetrical scarf (sometimes called an asymmetrical shawl) is crocheted so the two sides are intentionally different lengths, creating a modern, flowing shape rather than a traditional rectangle or even triangle. Instead of starting in the center or working evenly on both sides, this type of crochet scarf is usually worked from one corner outward, increasing on one side as you go.
The result is a scarf that drapes beautifully around the neck and shoulders, with one long side that wraps comfortably and a pointed end that adds visual interest. Asymmetrical scarves are especially popular because they’re easy to customize — you can simply keep crocheting until the scarf reaches the size you love.
This style is also very beginner-friendly, since the pattern uses simple stitches and repeat rows, making it a relaxing project that still looks stylish and polished when finished.

Basic Crochet Stitches Used
Chain Stitch (CH)
Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook. Leave about a 5-inch tail on the yarn. This will be weaved in later.
Next snug up the yarn loop that is on the crochet hook; while it should be firm, it should also be loose enough to slide on the hook with ease.
Keeping the loop on the hook, wrap the yarn over the crochet hook from back to front. Draw the yarn through the loop. You’ve just made a chain stitch. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through the loop on the hook. Continue yarning over and drawing the yarn through the loop on the hook to make more chain stitches.

Yarn over, insert the hook through both loops and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.

Beautiful shawl, I know how to crochet but have been doing much more knitting but this beautiful shawl has me wanting to get back to crocheting. Now where are my crochet hooks lol .
Awe. So glad to hear. I hope you do, just a lovely shawl. I had this one, brought it to work to show my friends and now I need to make another, because I ended up giving it away. I get to see it once in a while when it gets worn at work. 🙂 This one is a very easy pattern to work with. Great one for watching tv while you crochet.
