Pattern Instructions

Make a slipknot and ch 11.

• Row 1: 2 dc in 5th ch from hook. 1 dc in each of the next 2 ch. (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next ch. 1 dc in each of next 2 ch. 3 dc in last ch, turn.
• Row 2: ch 2, 2 hdc in the first dc. 1 hdc in each st to the ch-2 sp (this is the middle V of the shawl). (2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc) all in the ch-2 sp. 1 hdc in each st to last dc. 3 hdc in the last dc. turn.
• Row 3: ch 3. 2 dc in the first st. 1 dc in each st to the ch-2 sp (this is the middle V of the shawl). (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) all in the ch-2 sp. 1 dc in each st to last dc. 3 dc in the last st. turn.

Rep rows 2 and 3 a further *22 times.

*This is where you can make it larger depending on your preferences; you can keep repeating rows 2 and 3 until you get your desired size.

*Please note if you make it smaller, you may need less yarn, and larger, you will need more yarn.

• Finish by doing an Sl-St into the last ch, secure the yarn, leaving a small length of around 4 inches, and cut.
• Weave in all loose ends.

Tassels

• Make three tassels from the yarn of your choice.
• I would suggest doing this before you start the shawl to make sure you have enough yarn.
• Stitch one tassel to each corner point of the shawl.

You can see a tutorial on how to make tassels and attach them to the shawl here.

Finishing And Blocking

You may wish to block your shawl; you can do that as follows:

• Make sure all ends are woven in using a tapestry needle or method of choice.

For Wool fibers…

• Gently block by filling a sink or water basin with lukewarm water, and add a small amount of rinse less wool wash.
• Place the items in the water and gently massage out any air bubbles.
• Drain water, gently squeezing out any excess water from the item, then roll in a towel, and stomp on the towel roll to remove any more excess water.
• Lay the item out on a towel to approx. finished wingspan measurements and allow to dry completely.

For Acrylic Fibers…

• Acrylic yarn can be blocked through steam blocking.
• This method works because steam blocking uses heat to slightly melt and mold plastic fibers in acrylic yarn into the desired shape.
• Wet and spray blocking do not work because they do not apply heat, only water.
