One of my favorite things about Spring is the transitional weather and the longer days of sun. The days are warm when the sun is beaming down on us during the day and seeing the grass grow greener as the winter chill fades away. But the chill is there in the evening so it is still time to get cozy. I think Brava Sport is the perfect yarn to make all the tings this time of year.
As you can see, this is a great yarn to make my Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Free Shawl pattern.
Shown here in beautiful greens and spring inspired colors you can make this shawl in your favorite palette to go through the whole season into summer. You can make this in contrasting colors or a faded palette like I did - the options are limitless!
A great thing about Brava Sport is that it is one of the better 100% acrylic yarns I have worked with. Wearing this shawl makes me think… oooh it is like buttah!
And I love that it is hypoallergenic, stands up to wear and use, and it is machine washable! I throw it in a netted laundry bag and toss in the washer on gentle and BAM! like new every time.
And the truth is that it gets even softer every time I wash it.
Another great thing about the Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Shawl in Brava Sport yarn is that you can make it as big as you like or as small as you like by simply adding more rows in the pattern repeat.
I modified the pattern by just doing the color changes when I could see the color I was using was running out instead of counting rows to meet the pattern. My shawl came out slightly smaller that the original in this case but it is still large and fabulous and I love it.
You can also go the other way when you Get Brava Sporty For Spring With The The Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Shawl Free Pattern by adding a fourth color and another striped color change and more rows.
You have endless opportunities to add more colors and make it the biggest shawl of love ever!
The Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Shawl in Brava Sport yarn is a great rhythmic pattern once you get the repeat rows down. So you can pop on your fave latest binge show and stitch away and before you know it have a beautiful shawl to wrap yourself in.
Being an acrylic yarn, the Brava Sport is a little bit dense as it stitches up. If you want a more airy flow to your shawl, you may want to go up a hook size. In that case, don’t worry too much about gauge as much as creating a fabric you love.
I am 100% sure you will love Brava Sport and Get Brava Sporty For Spring With The The Amsterdam Crochet Your Fade Shawl Free Pattern as much as I did and while we are talking about using a great sport weight yarn for Spring…
Here are some more amazing free crochet patterns to make in Brava Sport:

Hi - I’m Michele
Welcome to Stitch & Hustle. I have always loved crochet (and knit). I started this blog because I wanted to share beginner friendly entry level patterns for all levels of makers. But especially for those learning and just starting out with knitting or crochet. My patterns are super easy and a great place to practice skills with easy construction patterns - and most of the patterns are free for that very reason.
Hope you find something great to make here - and please do share your makes on social media tagging #stitchandhustle.
