GAUGE:

One Motif = About 11 x 11 in. (28 x 28 cm)

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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

BPDC (back post double crochet) Yo, insert hook from back to front then to back, going around post of indicated st, draw up a loop, (yo and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice. Skip st in front of the BPDC. BPSLST (back post slip stitch) Insert hook from back to front then to back, going around post of indicated st, draw loop around st and through loop on hook. Cl (cluster) (Yarn over) 2 times, insert hook in indicated ch-sp and draw up a loop, (yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) 2 times, (yarn over) 2 times, insert hook in same ch-sp and draw up a loop, (yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) 2 times, yarn over and draw through all loops on hook. picot Ch 4, sl st in last sc or Cl made. joining-picot Ch 2, sl st in corresponding picot of neighboring Motif, ch 2, sl st in last sc made.

NOTES:

1. Shawl is made of 10 Motifs that are joined into a rectangle of 2 rows with 5 Motifs in each row.
2. Motifs are worked in joined rounds, with RS always facing. Do not turn at the ends of rounds.
3. After working the First Motif, remaining Motifs are joined while working the last round (Rnd 8). No sewing is required.
