Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Base

1. Begin with a magic ring. This will be the center of your shawl.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 24 dc.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 36 dc.
5. Continue increasing in this manner (adding 12 dc each round) until you have a total of 120 dc.

Step 2: Begin the Lace Pattern

1. Row 1: Chain 3, dc in the next stitch, then *chain 1, skip the next stitch, dc in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
2. Row 2: Chain 3, dc in the next dc, then *chain 1, dc in the chain-1 space, dc in the next 2 dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
3. Continue repeating Row 2 until the shawl measures 60 inches from the starting edge.

Step 3: Add the Edging

1. Round 1: Chain 1, single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire shawl. Place 3 sc in each corner to maintain the shape. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
2. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
