Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your shawl. This will form the center of your shawl.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Work 2 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Chain 2.
   • Work 3 dc into the magic ring.
   • Repeat the chain 2 and 3 dc into the magic ring three more times.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the beginning chain-3.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3, and dc in the same stitch.
   • Dc in the next 2 stitches.
   • In the chain-2 space from the previous round, work (2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc).
   • Dc in the next 3 stitches.
   • Repeat (2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc) in the next chain-2 space.
   • Dc in the next 3 stitches.
   • Repeat (2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc) in the next chain-2 space.
   • Dc in the next 3 stitches.
   • Repeat (2 dc, chain 2, 2 dc) in the next chain-2 space.
   • Dc in the last stitch, and join with a sl st to the top of the beginning chain-3.
4. Continue the Pattern:
   • Continue working in this manner, increasing at each chain-2 space and maintaining the lace pattern until your shawl reaches the desired size.
5. Finish with a Scalloped Edge:
   • To create the scalloped edge, work the following around the entire shawl:
     • Single crochet (sc) in the next stitch.
     • Skip 1 stitch.
     • Work 5 double crochets (dc) in the next stitch.
     • Skip 1 stitch.
     • Sc in the next stitch.
6. Fasten Off: Cut your yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
