shawlette

in chains


5/8

Inspired by the delicate nature o a yarn so ine, thisshawl uses a small hook but keeps the stitchingsimple so the shawl is un and quick to stitch. It isworked in skinny columns joined with horizontal bands

o long chains. So oten we gloss over the chain stitch anduse it only as a means to get to another stitch. his designis an homage to the chain stitch and results in a lovely andversatile accessory.

wide and 17" (43 cm) long from point

to neck.

800 yd (731.5 m).

hook Size C/2 (2.75mm) crochet

hook. Adjust hook size if necessary

to obtain the correct gauge.

notions Stitch markers (m);

tapestry needle.

GauGe 24 ch and 5 rows = 3"

(7.5 cm).

notes

+ The shawl is constructed of strips

of double-treble stitches that are

joined together with long chains

throughout. The strips vary in length

to form a triangle with short lengths

at the edges and the longest lengths

in the center.

+ Each row of a strip is only 4 dtr wide.

+ As you create the dtr strips, you

are working from the bottom of the

shawl to the top. However, when

you join strips together, begin at the

top of the shawl and work toward

the bottom in order to form the

triangular point at the center-bottom

and the straight edge at the neck. To

keep track of the top edge, mark the

last row of each strip with a stitch

marker (m).

+ When joining strips that differ in

length, start with your hook in the

end of the shorter strip. If you do not

end the last row on the shorter side,simply adjust by omitting the last

joining chain of the previous row or

work one more.
