Small Sideways Shawl with Corkscrew Fringe

Free Shawl Crochet Pattern

This is a fairly simple pattern. You start from 2 sts and make 1 increase along 1 edge every odd row. At the end of this row you also make a corkscrew fringe. I find that the shawl looks best with a self-striping yarn, which gives it an interesting look. You can use any self-striping yarn. The longer the color changes, the wider the color stripes.
