GAUGE:

9 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Shawl is worked in two halves. This construction technique creates scallops on both ends.
2. Both halves are worked in the same way. Row 1 of the Second Half is worked across the opposite side of the foundation ch of the First Half.

SHAWL
First Half
Ch 32, loosely. This ch is your foundation ch.
Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook (beg ch counts as first dc), *sk next 2 ch, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next ch (shell made), sk next 2 ch, dc in next 2 ch; rep from * across - 4 shells at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), turn, dc in next dc, *sk next 2 dc, dc in next dc, ch 1, (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch-1 sp, ch 1, dc in next dc, sk next 2 dc, dc in next 2 dc; rep from * across.
Row 3: Ch 3, turn, dc in next dc, *sk next ch-1 sp, (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) in next ch-1 sp, sk next ch-1 sp, sk next dc, dc in next 2 dc; rep from * across.
Row 4: Ch 3, turn, dc in next dc, *(3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next ch-3 sp, sk next 2 dc, dc in next 2 dc; rep from * across.
Rep Rows 2-4 until piece measures about 30 in. (76 cm) from beg. Make sure that the last row worked is a Row 4 to end with an attractive scalloped edge.
Fasten off.

Second Half
Working across opposite side of foundation ch of First Half, join yarn with sl st in first ch.
Row 1: Ch 3, dc in next ch, *sk next 2 ch, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in next ch (at base of shell of Row 1 of First Half), sk next 2 ch, dc in next 2 ch; rep from * across.
Rows 2-4: Work same as Rows 2-4 of First Half.
Rep Rows 2-4 until Second Half measures same as First Half. Make sure that the last row worked is a Row 4 to end with an attractive scalloped edge that matches the scalloped edge of the First Half. Note: Shawl should now measure about 60 in. (152.5 cm) long.
Fasten off.

FINISHING
Weave in ends.
