Instructions:
Let’s get started!
Tip: The first and last stitches can be hard to see especially when increasing or decreasing at the beginning and end of the row. Place stitch markers to help and occasionally make sure to do stitch counts
Increase Section
Start with a ch 2
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook. = 1 sc
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, 3 sc in st. =3 sc
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, 2 sc in 1st st, sc in next st, 2 sc in last st.=5 sc
Row 4: Ch 1, turn, sc across. = 5 sc
Row 5: Ch 1, turn, 2 sc in 1st st, sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in last st. = 7 sc
Row 6: Ch 1, turn, sc across. = 7 sc
Row 7: Ch 1, turn, 2 sc in 1st st, sc across to last st, 2 sc in last st. = 9 sc
Row 8-59: Repeat rows 6 & 7 (increase rows pattern) By row 59 you will have 61 sc *hint* for the decrease section, every odd row you will have a st count of the row number + 2 sts(like row 7 has 9 sts). You should do a st count every few rows
Now you will start the base of the shawl
Row 60: Ch 5(counts as trc + ch 1), turn, *sk next st, trc in next st, ch 1*, repeat *to* across ending with a trc in last st. = 30 ch 1 & 31 trc
Row 61: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st and ch sp across ending with a sc in the 4th ch of the beginning ch 5 of the previous row. = 61 sc
Rows 62- 72: Ch 1, turn, sc across. = 61 sc
Rows 73-170: Repeat rows 60 – 73 (6 times)
Row 171: Repeat row 60
Decrease section
Row 172: Ch 1, turn, sc across. = 61 sc
Row 173: Ch 1, turn, dec sc, sc in next 57 sts, dec sc over last 2 sts. = 59 sc
Rows 174-234: Repeat rows 172 & 173 until you have 1 sc left
Finish off
With the left over yarn make 2 tassels or pom poms and attach 1 to each end of the shawl.
