Alera Shawl, Easy Crochet Shawl Pattern
Hi CAL friends! I’m getting so excited to start the Codex Alera CAL in just over a week! I’ll have tutorial videos to get with each section of this easy crochet shawl pattern. I want to be sure that everyone is ready when the time comes. This post will give you the header info for the pattern, gauge, hook size, yarn requirements, finished measurements, all that stuff, along with a few reminders.
Get ALL the information about the CAL here in the main post about it.

You might go ahead and work a gauge swatch to be sure your gauge matches mine. It’s a shawl, so it doesn’t have to be perfect, but at least close.
