Is it easy to crochet Vivian shawl?

I put an adventurous beginner level for Vivian triangle shawl simply because of puff stitch or cross double crochet stitch.  In case if you have no experience with them before, this will be a great opportunity to master them. You can follow along by photo tutorials or by a video tutorial. The crochet triangle shawl is easy to make and the only thing you’ll need is time for repetition of rows until it’s long enough. You can also use your creativity and experiment with stripes or other color combinations when making Vivian triangle shawl.

What yarn to use for a crochet shawl?

In my opinion any yarn would work. If you want a lightweight shawl or a warm one, it’s up to you. In Vivian shawl I used Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca, but it can be substituted with any medium weight 4 yarn. I made Vivian easy triangle shawl for winter months so I went with  a warmer yarn. I chose a contrast of cream and charcoal colors.
