NOTES

  • Play 5 end triangle is the same as Play 1.  Play 5 is then seamed to the edge of Play 4.  There is a simple edging and an optional edging and tassels for the short edge of the shawl. 
  • Gauge is not critical in this project. Lace crochet easily can grow depending on how you make your chains.  If your project measures larger, it will still be a beautiful project.  If Play 1 is between 30-36” at the base, and 16-19” in height the final shawl will be great!
  • Project is worked on its longest side first and each row will shorten after creating a triangle.  
  • Optional:  If you do not want to start your project with foundation sc, you can chain instead.
