How to Create a Beautiful Crochet Shawl

You’ll Need:

300g of yellow 100% acryl yarn (1600m/100g);

Crochet hook 2.5;

Scissors;

Stitch markers.

Size:

220 cm long x 110 cm height.

Instructions

Work in 2-3 threads of yarn. Make a sample according to scheme 1. Only one flower is shown on the scheme. Start making the flower in the 4^th row by changing 5 chain stitches of the net pattern to 21 chain stitches—this will be the base for the first two petals of the flower.

Make all double crochets and single crochets above arches of 9 (or 21) chain stitches, inserting the crochet hook into the chain stitches of the arches (1 crochet in every chain stitch). The center of the flower consists of a dense part; make 3 single crochets in every row of the flower. Make a triple treble crochet at the end of odd rows, inserting the crochet hook in the center of the previous triple treble crochet.

Start making the shawl from the lower corner to the upper side with widening. Flowers and net fringe are shown on scheme 2. First, make only the net fringe. Start the first flower in the 20^th row. Begin the next row of flowers in the 26^th row, then in the 32^nd row, and so on, achieving flowers in every 6^th row.

Fasten the upper edge of the shawl with 1 row of single crochets. Fasten the side edges of the shawl with arches of 9 chain stitches, and decorate with tassels measuring 15-20 cm in length.
