How do you drape a triangle crochet shawl?

To drape a triangle crochet shawl, start by holding the shawl with the point facing downward. Then, drape the longest side over your shoulders, allowing the two shorter sides to fall naturally down your arms.

You can adjust the drape to your preference, whether you prefer a more relaxed look or a snug fit around your shoulders.

Experiment with different draping styles to find the one that complements your outfit and comfort level best.

Finishing

You can add more repeats to make a longer shawl

You can also add fringe or tassels 

Cut your yarn and weave in the ends.

I recommend blocking the finished Shawl before wearing it!

Enjoy!
