MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn, (Red Heart Ombre used in this design, 1 skein of 482 yards)
See this yarn here: https://tinyurl.com/y963qnwx
6.5 mm crochet hook (or any size hook)
Yarn needle
INSTRUCTIONS: Works top down, gauge not imp, 3 sc and 3 rows = 1 sq. Inch
Finished shawl measures: 22 inches long (after blocking) and 62 inches wide.
I used 360 yards.
Adding an additional row of loops on the bottom will require 30 yards.
(2 rows will require 60 yards).
Making the shawl wider will require 150 yards for every 12 inches.
1. Chain 153, or any length required for your arm span,(in odd number) or to wrap
around your body.(One skein was used for the sample shown, 5 foot span.
Larger sizes will require more yarn.)
2. Double crochet in the 3rd stitch from the hook, (forms the first ‘v’ stitch), skip the
next 2 stitches,* double crochet in the next stitch, skip the next 2 stitches, in the next
stitch make: double crochet, chain 1, double crochet (‘v’ stitch), skip the next 2
stitches. Repeat from * across the row (ending with a ‘v’ stitch).
3. Turn, slip stitch into the first chain 1 space, chain 3, double crochet in the same
stitch (‘v’ stitch), *double crochet in the next stand alone double crochet, ‘v’ stitch in
the next ‘v’ stitch, repeat from * across the row.
4. Repeat step 3 for 3 more rows.
5 Turn, *chain 3, skip the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch, repeat from *
across the row.
6 Turn, *chain 3, single crochet in the next loop, repeat from * across the row.
7 Repeat step 6 for 3 more rows.
8 Chain 3 and turn, make 3 triple crochet in each loop across.
9. Chain 3 and turn, make a triple crochet in each stitch across the row.
10 Turn, *chain 3, skip the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch, repeat from*
across the row.
11. Turn, *chain 3, single crochet in the next loop, repeat from * across.
12. Repeat step 11 for 3 more rows.
13. Chain 3 and turn, make 2 triple crochet in each loop across.
14. Turn, single crochet in the first stitch, *skip the next 2 stitches, make 5 double
crochet in the next stitch, skip the next 2 stitches, single crochet in the next stitch,
repeat from * across, adjusting skipped stitches if necessary to end with a single
crochet in the last stitch.
15. Turn, *chain 5, single crochet in the next double crochet, repeat from * across the
row, skipping the single crochet between shells (do not work into the single crochet
stitch, go directly to the next double crochet stitch to form the next ch 5 loop).
16. Turn, *chain 5, single crochet in the next loop, repeat from * across the bottom of the
shawl, then work up the side, making the single crochet in the side of the stitch of
each row, then across the top, skipping the equivalent space (I worked into the space
between the ‘v’ stitch and the dc), then down the opposite front,
and fasten off. The shawl will seem short at this point, but if you stretch it you can
estimate the finished length after blocking. Sample shown is 22 inches long after
blocking.)
Weave yarn ends into the finished work.
This shawl requires blocking.
Saturate in water, spread on a large bath towel, pull
down to stretch and open up the stitches.
Blocking with add 6 to 8 inches to the length.
For a longer shawl, either:
Add more rows of loops in step 12
Or
Add more rows of chain 5 loops in step 16.
