Pattern Description: Simple Crochet Shawl/Scarf (Charlotte Stitch)

This crochet project features the Charlotte Stitch, a versatile and beginner-friendly design that works beautifully for a shawl, wrap, or scarf. The pattern is based on two simple, repeating rows, making it an ideal project for relaxing while watching TV or listening to music.
