Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Make the Foundation Chain
- Chain 281 (or 1.10 meters if using other yarn weights).
Step 2: First Row
- Yarn over, skip the first 3 chains (from hook).
- In the next chain, make a double crochet (dc).
- Make a dc in each of the next 2 chains (3 dcs total).
- Chain 1, skip 1 chain. In each of the next 3 chains, make 1 dc in each.
- Repeat: [ch 1, skip 1, 3 dc in next 3 chains] until the end of the row.
- End with 3 dc at the end.
Step 3: Start Decreasing for Triangle Shape
Row 2 (Decrease Row):
- Start with 3 chains—turn.
- Do not chain 1; skip straight to making 3 dc in the next chain space.
- Continue: [ch 1, 3 dc in next space] to the end.
- Finish with a ch 1 and a single crochet (sc) in the last stitch.
Row 3 (Straight Side):
- Ch 3, turn; make 2 dc in the next space.
- [Ch 1, 3 dc in next space] until the end.
- At the decreasing end, when finishing the decreasing row, do not make a ch-1 before the last group; instead, simply end with 1 dc in the top of the previous ch-3.
Step 4: Continue Decreasing
- On the decrease side: Always start the row with ch 3 and skip the first chain space to automatically decrease.
- Work until only one group of 3 dc remains.
Step 5: Finish the Shawl Point
- When only a single 3 dc group remains, ch 3, turn, and make 1 dc on top of previous dc to finish off.
