Making Process
- Starting Point: Create 5 chain stitches, joining the first and last with a slip stitch to form a loop.
- Row 1: Chain 3, then make 5 double crochets, 2 chains, and another 5 double crochets.
- Row 2 (BLO Double Crochets): Start with 3 chains, then 1 increase. Double crochet in each stitch until the chain space. In the chain space, work (1 dc, 1 tr, 2 ch, 1 tr, 1 dc). Continue with 1 dc in each stitch until the last two stitches where you'll make 1 increase and 1 dc.
- Rows 3-32: Repeat Row 2 to gradually shape the shawl into a triangle, increasing stitches symmetrically at the edges and center.
- Row 33 (Holes): Begin with 3 chains, 1 increase, followed by repeating (1 chain, skip one stitch, 1 dc) until the middle chain space. Perform the regular middle pattern, then mirror the same pattern until you reach the end with 1 increase and 1 dc.
