    The document provides instructions for making a triangular shawl with an openwork pattern using double crochet stitches. It recommends using a chunky or bulky weight yarn and a larger hook size for drape. Testers provided their measurements and modifications.

    The pattern recommends using a chunky or bulky weight yarn like King Cole Big Value Chunky and a hook size at least 2 sizes larger than recommended for the yarn, such as an 8mm hook. It can be made with any weight yarn and hook.

    The body is worked from the point up in increasing rows, starting with a small circle and adding V-stitches and cluster stitches in a repeating pattern until the desired width is reached.

    Back Story
    Inspired by a shawl seen on the UK high street this is a super fast make of an open work autumnal shawl. Designed to be worn as a shawl, or as a scarf rolled into a sausage and worn bandana style with the point in front. I made mine in a gorgeous 100% acrylic deep purple tweed that contained flecks of the colours I associate with storm clouds full of heavy rain and ice crystals, hence the name.

    How to Follow this pattern


    Points and guidance
    This pattern is for a triangular Danish shawl where the top is longer than the length. The shawl is worked in two parts, but without breaking the yarn. You will work the body of the shawl from the point up, and then the border is added. Finally the tassels are added for a finishing touch. You will find full written instructions along with a hand drawn chart for the body and the border. You will need to be able to crochet chain and Double crochet (US terms used throughout) This is not a difficult pattern, but you do need to pay attention for the increase rows. The repeating pattern doesnt start until ROW 7! So please pay extra attention to the first 6 rows or you end up with a strong curving top edge rather than a slight curve that is easily blocked out.

    Shawl Fringing and Finishing


    Optional
    I used the remaining yarn I had and wrapped it around an unopened bill envelope. If you want a longer fringe you could use a DVD case (either around or top-to-bottom). Wrap the yarn around the object without pulling too tight (try to be fairly relaxed about this) and then cut along one edge. I had enough yarn to give me 4 strands at each corner (using the 1Ch space at the top corners and 2Ch space at the point), and 3 strands along the edges. Unfortunately this is a case of just guessing and fudging until it works! Level your ends and loop them over your finger. Feed your crochet hook through the tassel hole (the 1ch space in Row 3) and pick up the yarn around your finger. Pull through the hole. Take hold of this loop and use the hook to pass the ends of the yarn through this loop. Pull the ends to secure. Trim ends if you wish. Block lightly if desired to extend the top edge. Pre-blocked measurements: 50 inches x 22 inches - Blocked Measurements: 62.5 inches by 24 inches

    Copyright and Thanks

    With thanks to my patient testers: MNG, AubergineStar and Bookworm-mar. Without them this pattern would not be as half as readable. AubergineStar used a 7mm hook and 10ply yarn. Her pre-blocked measurement = 104 x 40cm (41 x 15) Bookworm-mar used a 5mm hook and 8ly (DK) yarn. Blocked measurement = 127 x 48cm (50 x 19) Bookworm-mar also made some lovely modifications check out her project page for details. Mng used a 6mm hook and 302yds of 10ply yarn, Her pre-blocked measurements = 116 x 50cm (46 x 19.5) and was claimed before she got chance to measure the blocked! Extra thanks go to Heike67 for spotting an error in the chart within minutes of the pattern being posted!
