There’s something captivating about a promise whispered in shadow — something eternal, beautiful, and just a little dangerous.
The Crimson Vow is my love letter to dark romance, ancient myths, and the story of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. This triangular shawl is inspired by the moment she stepped into her power — part maiden, part monarch, entirely transformed.
It’s a design for the dreamers who find comfort in autumn’s chill, the romantics who see beauty in decay, and the makers who love their yarn with a touch of drama.
Simple Stitches, Stunning Texture
The Crimson Vow is a top-down triangular shawl with a simple body that lets the drama shine through in the details: three bold stripes of contrast color cascade down the fabric like the three pomegranate seeds that sealed Persephone’s fate. The result is elegant, symbolic, and satisfyingly rhythmic to crochet.
The pattern is written with both clarity and atmosphere — and includes a detailed photo tutorial to guide you through the stripe construction and any techniques that need a little extra love. You don’t have to be an expert to make this shawl feel magical.
Cadence DK by Toil & trouble
The yarn makes a big difference, and for the Crimson Vow, I partnered with Toil & Trouble yarns and used Cadence DK in Season of the Witch and Wine Harvest.
This yarn is made from 100% superfine SW Merino wool, which gives the wrap its super-soft feel and drape. The yarn's four plies create a round profile, which helps the lace wave maintain it’s structure.
Yarn and Materials
Yarn: Toil & Trouble Cadence DK or any DK weight yarn
Hook: US size H (5.0 mm) or size needed to meet gauge.
