In the Cozy Shawl pattern, there was a solid inner section with a wide lacy edging. With the coming of spring, the shawl became a little warm to wear, so I designed an all lace shawl. It is actually a simple pattern, especially if you've used the Cozy Shawl pattern. The shawl is entirely composed of the lace edging.
In any case, here's the pattern:Chain 2
Row 1: 3 sc in 2nd chain from the hook (3 sc)
Row 2: ch 1, turn, 2 sc in first sc, sc 2 sc in last sc (5 sc)
Edging:
Row 1: ch 1, do not turn, 2 sc in corner, sc, 3 sc in point, sc, 2 sc in corner
Row 2: ch 3, turn, 2 dc in corner, ch 3, sk 3, (dc, ch 3, dc) in point, ch 3, sk 3, 3 dc in corner
Row 3: ch 3, turn, 2 dc in corner, dc in next 2 dc, ch 3, dc in dc, (ch 3, dc, ch 3) in point, dc in dc, ch 3, dc in next 2 dc, 3 dc in corner
Row 4: ch 3, turn, 2 dc in corner, ch 3, sk 3, dc, ch 3, dc in dc, ch 3, (dc, ch 3, dc) in point, ch 3, dc in dc, ch 3, dc, ch 3, sk 3, 3 dc in corner
Row 5: ch 3, turn, 2 dc in corner, dc in next 2 dc, ch 3, (dc in dc, ch 3) to point, (ch 3, dc, ch 3) in point, ch 3, (dc in dc, ch 3) to last 3 dc, dc in next 2 dc, 3 dc in cornerRow 6: ch 3, turn, 2 dc in corner, sk 3, (ch 3, dc in dc) to point, (dc, ch 3, dc) in point, dc in dc, (ch 3, dc in dc) to corner, 3 dc in corner
Rows 7-26: repeat rows 5-6 10 times
Row 27: ch 3, turn, 2 dc in corner, dc, 4 dc in next dc, sc in dc, (7 dc in dc, sc in dc) to point, 7 dc in point, sc in dc, (7 dc in dc, sc in dc) to last 3 dc, 4 dc in next dc, dc, 3 dc in cornerFinishing: ch 1, turn, sc across the top, slip stitch, fasten off, weave in ends.
Essentially, you dc in each of the posts across with either a (dc, ch 3, dc) or a (ch 3, dc, ch 3) in the point. You will always have 3 dc in the corners (ch 3 counts as a dc).
I made this with Baby Bee Sweet Delights Sidewalk yarn with a J hook.
So pretty! Perfect for spring/summer. Thanks for sharing!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. There are two row's 1 and 2 rows two. Please help
ReplyDeleteInitially you make a triangle. That's the first rows 1-2. The rest is the edging: that's the rows 1-27.
Deletea little confusing...do you have a diagram of this pattern? Its beautifl and I am trying to make it but instructions not very clear.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a diagram, but essentially, you just make the starting triangle, then the rest is the edging. You basically are doing (ch3, dc in dc) around. The only difference is what you do in the points, alternating (ch 3, dc, ch 3), and (dc, ch 3, dc). Then you just shell around. Hope that helps.
DeleteQuestion: what yarn is used, what is the weight of the yarn (worsted, fingering, dk) and how many yards. I like making shawls, but I prefer using a lighter weight yarn. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI used Yarn Bee Baby yarn from Hobby Lobby for this particular shawl, but it works equally well with Simply Soft yarn. If you want to use lighter yarn, you'd just need to do more rows to get the same size.
