The Stylish Silver Fox Boomerang Shawl is a delicate and sophisticated crochet pattern. Perfect for the transitioning months when you need a little something to layer up and look beautiful too.
If you’re on the hunt for a beautiful and functional crochet project, this free crochet pattern is perfect for you. This asymmetrical design blends traditional triangle shawl elements with a modern twist.
This pattern is designed using a thread fine weight yarn that is self-striping. Making it a standout addition to any wardrobe. The pattern is great for using mini skeins and transitioning between colors effortlessly. It would look great using a wide variety of different colors.
Asymmetrical Design Crochet Boomerang Shawl
The shawl has all double crochet stitches and therefore works up very quickly. The pattern is designed to expand outwards in a boomerang-like fashion by using decreases and increases at the beginning and end of the rows. However, the growth of the asymmetrical design is on just one side.
Pattern is Beginner Friendly
This style is loosely based on the filet crochet technique using alternating rows of open and closed mesh rows. The open mesh consists of creating open spaces using double crochet and chains. The closed mesh rows are plain double crochet stitches worked across the previous row.
You’ll find that the repeat rows and basic stitches are easy to master. It’s a great pattern for a confident beginner. For additional guidance, I’ve included a video tutorial on my YouTube channel, where you can follow along with each step.
Embrace the charm of this stylish boomerang shape shawl and discover different ways to wear it, from a warm scarf to a cozy wrap.

Skill Level
Confident Beginner
Size
34 inches wide at the widest point X 107 inches long
Changing the Size
You’ll find that this shawl is quite long, if you prefer a crochet scarf pattern, just work less rows. The yarn cake that I used had over 1,000 yards. However, 600-1,000 yards would work nicely for this pattern. Since the shawl grows in width and length as you crochet the rows, you can stop when it gets to the length and width that you desire.
Gauge
14 stitches X 8 rows of double crochet stitches every 4 inches.
Materials
Twister from Hobbii, Color 02, which is a self-striping yarn: white to a grey to a black variegated yarn. 1 skein or 1093 yards.

Special Stitches
2 DC Cluster (2 DC CL). Essentially, you are working 2 double crochet stitches into one stitch and joining them together. Work the first DC yarning over the first two loops and not finishing that first DC yet. Instead, you yarn over again, insert the hook and yarn over and pull the loop through the stitch. Now you yarn over and pull through just 2 loops. There should be 3 loops remaining. Now yarn over one last time and pull through all three loops.
Here is another way of explaining the 2 DC Cluster.
- YO, insert hook into a ST.
- YO, pull the yarn through the ST (3 loops on hook)
- YO and pull through the first 2 loops. (2 loops on hook)
- YO, insert hook into same ST.
- YO and pull the yarn through the ST (4 loops on hook)
- YO and pull through the first 2 loops (3 loops on hook)
- YO and pull the yarn through all remaining loops.
Cluster V Stitch (CVS). All in one stitch, work (2 DC CL, CH 1, 2 DC CL). When working in the CVS work into the CH 1 SP. You will always be skipping over the 2 DC CL and only working into the CH 1 SP.
Pattern Notes
The pattern is written in US terms.
All measurements given are unblocked.
CH 1 at the beginning of the rows does not count as a stitch.
CH 3 at the beginning of the rows counts as a DC.
The pattern is a repeat of rows 12 through 17.
The shawl starts at a point and expands on one side as you complete the rows. When you get to row 12, you will slip stitch in a few stitches to create a point on one side.
Turn at the end of each row.
