Autumn Jewels Wrap - Part 1-: Shawl Base
Autumn Jewels Wrap - Part 1-: Shawl Base
Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but I got 25 sts x 14 rows in swatch stitch
(below) = 4” with a 4.00 mm hook.
Gauge Swatch – Use Hook US G/4.00 mm:
Row 1: Ch32, sc in 2nd ch from hook and each remaining ch to end. (31)
Row 2: Ch3 (counts as dc) turn, [ch1, skip 1, dc in next st], repeat between [ ] to end. (31)
Row 3: Ch1, turn, sc in each dc and ch1 space to end. (31)
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until piece measures approximately 5”.
Compare number of stitches in a 4” square to the pattern gauge and adjust hook as necessary.
Abbreviations (US Terms):
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
hdc= half double crochet
sc = single crochet
slst = slip stitch
st(s) = stitch(es)
tog = together
YO = yarn over
Special Stitches:
CL = [YO, insert hook in designated stitch, YO and pull loop through to the height of a double
crochet] 3 times (7 loops on hook), YO, pull through all loops on hook.
scVSt = [sc, ch2, sc] in same stitch.
Shell = [dc2tog, ch2, dc2tog, ch2, dc2tog] in same stitch or space.
Shell 2 = [dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc] in same stitch.
Notes:
Weave ends as you work.
Ch1 does NOT count as stitch.
Stitch count is in ( ) at the end of the round.
Base of Shawl:
The base is worked from point to point with increases on one side only.
Even rows are right side rows.
