Directions

The shawl is worked starting from the bottom point up to the top edge and can be made smaller or larger by changing the number of rows worked, as long as the total number of rows is a multiple of 15 (e.g  120, 135, 150, 165, etc). In my shawl, the number of rows is 135.

Chain 5.

Row 1: tr 6 in the first chain. Turn.

Row 2-3: ch 2 (counts as 1 sc), 1 sc in each of the next 6 tr. Turn.

Row 4: ch 4 (counts as 1 tr), tr 6 in the first sc, skip the next 5 sc, tr 7 in the last sc. Turn.

Rows 5-6:  ch 2 (counts as 1 sc), sc in each stitch across. = 14 sts. Turn.

Row 7: ch 4 (counts as 1 tr), tr 6 in the first sc, (skip 6 sc, tr 7 in the next sc) twice. Turn.

Rows 8-9: ch 2 (counts as 1 sc), sc in each stitch across. = 21 sts. Turn.

Rows 10: ch 4 (counts as 1 tr), *tr 6 in the first sc, *skip 6 sc, tr 7 in the next sc – repeat from * to the end of the row. Turn.

Rows 11-12: ch 2 (counts as 1 sc), sc in each sts to the end of the row. Turn.

Repeat rows 10-12 x 131 more times, or to desired length. As I noted, the total number of rows should be a multiple of 15. As described, the shawl will have 135 total rows.
