First you'll get addicted to the pattern...

Then, you'll fall madly in love with your shawl!

Meandros Stripe Shawl is a breezy, lightweight and practical accessory for Spring. Inspired by the infinitely versatile "pashmina," this shawl is the perfect size for everyday wear and comes in handy in all kinds of weather. 

The design is built around three stripes of an ancient Greek Meandros or "Key" pattern. This mysterious motif has popped up all over the world throughout history and continues to remain a popular design in high fashion and architecture. You can read a concise and engaging history of the Meandros HERE.

Level: Intermediate. To complete this project you must be able to read a chart or a pattern, maintain even tension, count accurately, and stitch confidently into starting chains. Meandros Stripe Shawl is a fun and repetitive pattern but may be difficult for beginners due to the "turned" Column construction. 

I recommend that all crocheters new to my Ribbon Candy Crochet techniques download and complete my Swatching Guide. It will teach you the basics and prepare you to begin any of my designs with confidence. 

If you are a beginner and would prefer a gentler introduction to my techniques, I suggest my Ribbon Candy shawl or scarf book. These patterns contain more straight lines of crochet, simple increase curves, and are an excellent stepping stone to more complex Ribbon Candy Crochet patterns.
